Margins

The space around a page of text; the edge of the image, the border of a country; the perimeter of an ocean; the amount of profit or the difference between winning and losing: outside the norms; on the edge of vision; living on the edge; outsiders. Where do your margins begin and end? A margin of error might be a saving grace, but falling outside the margin can mean anything from stepping off a curb to falling off a cliff. Explore this liminal space with Core Art Space. We can’t wait to see what you find on the margins!

Core New Art Space invites all artists of any mediums, 2d & 3d (except video/installations). Entries must be submitted electronically by  August 13th, 2024 and accompanied by a $35.00 fee (for up to 3 works). 

Juror: Joe Higgins is a well-respected Colorado artist working primarily in monotypes.

 "I work in monotype and my pictures deal with place, spiritual presence and the vexations of making connections of the spirit. The images are representational, but also conceptual and symbolic." 

Higgins has taught classes in monotype at the Art Students League of Denver since 2010. He has shown in many venues including Boulder Art Center, Sangre de Christo Arts Center, Colorado Springs Fine Art Center, and the Aspen Art Museum . In 1988, he was awarded an Individual Artist Fellowship by the Colorado Council on the Arts. His work is available at G44 Gallery, 1785 8th St. in Colorado Springs.
