Fall 2022 Faculty & Alumni Exhibition
A “Fire & Water” inspired art show
ARTWORK CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES:
CSUEB Art Faculty & Alumni Exhibition will be a "Fire & Water" inspired art show. Fire and water are contrasting elements that hold dual meaning and symbolism across all cultures, religions, and physical aspects in the universe. This exhibition will give viewers an opportunity to compare and contrast the ways in which fire and water can inspire a theme or can be used in the artist's creative process.
“Fire & Water” are essential elements that play important roles in our daily lives and continue to inspire creation and the artistic process. How does fire and/or water relate to your artwork? Do you use fire and/or water as an inspiration for a concept or idea in your creative process? Do you use either physical fire and/or water in your artistic process?
Art faculty and alumni are invited to submit 1-2 pieces of artwork that represent fire, water, and/or any combination of the elements which coincide with the concept of “Fire & Water”.
*Acceptable artwork includes: Paintings, photographs, works on paper(drawing, collage, mixed media, etc.), digital artwork, time-based artwork, graphic artwork, sculpture, and installations.
*This will be a physical exhibition in the University Art Gallery, accompanied by an online exhibition via At a Distance Gallery.com
