Bloom: Juried Exhibition
Online submissions: January 28th, 2021 – March 29th 2021
$250 prize to best in show
Bloom
Bloom is a currated exhition to celebrate the up and coming spring season at the Peddie and Fish Artist Collective. Artists are invited to submit works that are inspired by our show's theme, Bloom. This could take form in a sping inspired color palette, compositions that create a blooming visual motion, or subject matter. Bloom is defined as a flowering period, a state of beauty, freshness, high development or achievement, or to become fully expressed. Just like a seed, we were faced with a gestational period as a result of the 2020 shut down. Seeds lay dormant until signaled to rise up. For some seeds, growth is stimulated by a forest fire. Whether your personal flames took form in the anxieties of a worldwide pandemic, grief of the loss of a loved one to Covid-19, or the socio/economic/political unrest facing our country, we invite artists to grow with us out of the ashes that were 2020 and Bloom with hope.
