Rhythm Exhibition

Submissions due March 15 at Midnight

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 25, 3:00-5:00pm

Rhythm can be a dancer, and our soul's companion. If you only observe, you can see, hear and feel rhythm everywhere . . .

Rhythm, usually achieved through repetition of lines, shapes, colors, and more, creates a visual tempo in artworks and provides a path for the viewer's eye to follow. But don’t let that limit you! All forms of art can be submitted; lyrics, short story, poetry, etc.

Written word should be typed or neatly written and mounted or framed for hanging like a piece of art.
