Submission Deadline: March 31, 2020
Synopsis: Art Room seeks emerging artists for its upcoming exhibition, Interchanging Lines, Constructing Home. The current social climate has forced many people to live in divided homes where their sexual orientation and gender identities are at conflict within their family structures, thus creating challenges, uncertainty, and discomfort. This call for entry invites artists working in any media to submit works that challenge the idea of the nuclear home, explore their separation from family created by political discourse, and present their new (re)construction or vision of home. The exhibition will be juried by the UNT Graduate Professional Practice class, who will curate the works to be shown at Art Room. https://www.artroomfw.org/what-we-do/exhibition#submissions
