View Art Center in Old Forge NY seeks works of all media focusing on the Sky. The sky has long captivated human imagination—a boundless expanse filled with mystery, beauty, and untold stories. In this juried exhibition, Denizens of the Sky, artists from diverse backgrounds and all mediums explore the ethereal realm above us, drawing inspiration from its ever-changing moods, its vast ecosystems, and the wonders the sky harbors. This call is open to all media, including installation and sound. Our goal is to challenge viewers to think about how we value the sky. Works of art might consider the sky from a global point of view, a regional perspective, a cultural perspective, environmental perspective or with a specific focus on the Adirondacks. This call is open to all media. Artists may submit up to 3 pieces.
