Invitation to all women artists and artisans in Illinois to submit artwork in all media for this open exhibition. Every artist at one point or another has been inspired by the work of another artist. The inspiration could occur in several different ways: approach to or use of subject matter; process; or use of material and / or technique.
We are looking for art that has been inspired by a specific artist (famous or not). You must identify the artist and include a statement of how you were influenced and that inspiration must be visually evident in the work. All themes, styles, and media will be considered. It is acceptable if you are submitting more than one piece that the inspiration for each one could come from a different artist.
