The Gallery at FDC invites you to apply for "Abstracted Realms: A Modern Interpretation of Landscapes". This show is an invitation for artists to share new interpretations of one of the oldest expressions of fine art. Landscape art has historically been an expression of a "wide view" depiction of natural scenery where weather, topography and other natural elements adorn the artwork. We're looking for artists whose work plays on these themes and stretches conventional norms for the Landscape genre. 

Artists need to be regional to Denver, CO to apply. All 2-d work is welcome. All artwork must be original. No prints, sculpture, or AI work will be considered. All work must be for sale.
