🥁 SLAC CALL FOR ART - RHYTHM 🎵
SIP COFFEE HOUSE - CROWN POINT
From the beat of a drum to the pulse of a city, Rhythm is everywhere. This show invites artists to explore rhythm in all its forms—visual patterns, movement, repetition, music, and the unseen tempo of our everyday life. 🎶
Find a visual or auditory pattern created by repetition of all forms, shapes, elements, colors, contrasts, sounds, movements, you name it. And MAKE it!
Try dancing while making your piece! Let the flow of the rhythm move you to make your unique creation.
What makes your heart race?
What keeps your brush moving, your camera snapping, your scissors snipping, your hands dancing across the canvas?
Maybe you're inspired by dance, music, machinery, poetry, natural cycles, or the flow and rhythms of emotions and dreams.
We want to see how you interpret this theme, and we are looking for brand new works made this year, and never exhibited before at Sip in Crown Point.
Bring the GROOVE. Bring the HEARTBEAT. 💗
We are looking for visual syncopation. This is your chance to transcribe tempo into texture!
All 2D and 3D work welcomed in all mediums as long as it can be SAFELY mounted to the wall with proper wiring! We do not have spots for any sculpture pieces unfortunately.
