ENGULFED

 

Artworks Center for Contemporary Art (ACCA) in Loveland, Colorado is seeking submissions for ENGULFED, an exhibition shedding light on the crisis of forest fires across the globe. Artists may respond to the forest fires by developing work that focuses on global warming, resource destruction, property damage, loss of life, wilderness protection, sustainability, political issues, fire mitigation, first responders, or broadly conceptual work dealing with the interpretation of “engulfed”. ACCA is a contemporary art center and traditional representational work may not be eligible.
