Call for Artists - Water Street Studios

Themed Show "Carbon" at Water Street Studios - Cash Awards

The Main Gallery at Water Street Studios
Through Carbon: Life and More, Water Street Studios will challenge artists to represent this subject in a way that brings carbon, its use, its impact and its future upfront. Carbon is the element that is the basis of all known life forms. And as those life forms die and decay, they become carbon. The duality of carbon to the existence of everything living and its eventual nonexistence offers the artist a challenge and venues for interpretation. While fire breathes life, it eventually dies into embers and then carbon.

For this exhibition, Water Street Studios is looking for artists to represent carbon beyond the use of it as a material.
PRIZES: 
  • Best of show will be awarded $500
  • Honorable Mention artists will receive an award of $100
  • Gallery Directors Choice artists will be awarded free two week solo show at the Water Street Studios 2nd floor gallery
Water Street Studios is honored to have for our CARBON themed show, Jess Mott Wickstrom, Gallery Director at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago.
