TRANSITIONS 2016
Exhibition Details
The Fall/Winter Exhibit at the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts will showcase art that tells the story of Transitions. Few times of the year remind us of the transitory nature of life more than the shift from fall to winter. As the days get shorter and one season fades into the other, we are often inspired to explore change in ourselves and our own work. For this show, we are seeking pieces that creatively interpret the theme of transition, evolution and rebirth. Both 2-D and 3-D work of all media are welcome. We will offer three prizes: Grand prize - $100 and a membership to the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts; Second Prize - $50 and a membership to the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts; and Third Prize - $35 and a membership to the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts.
