open call description:
The MIDDLE PATH: The artist's Journey Defined
From obsession to clarity, or the road less traveled, choices and circumstances bring awareness, become meaningful touchpoints, and cause pivots and turning points in one’s life path.
THE MIDDLE PATH references the unique path one carves when faced with choices or life challenges. For artists, this experience is often reflected in their medium and specific expression. Please show us art that is inspired by an inflection point in your life and tell us what the piece means to you and how that pivot influenced your process and outcome.
