We invite our current members to submit one work following
the theme “Metamorphosis” to be displayed in the
main gallery during this month-long group exhibition. As an artist and
an Alliance member, this is your annual opportunity to exhibit your work in our
main gallery! No online submission process, no jury notification – simply the
opportunity to celebrate the artists that make our artistic community so
unique.
The theme “Metamorphosis”
calls to mind concepts of transformation and change, it can explore how people,
nature, and society undergo metamorphoses over time. Artists could interpret
this theme through depictions of personal evolution, environmental shifts,
societal upheavals, or even the lifecycle of creatures undergoing
metamorphosis, such as butterflies or frogs. It could evoke feelings of
transition, adaptation, and renewal, encouraging viewers to reflect on the
cyclical nature of transformation and the beauty found within the process of
change.
