Submitted by ARCGallery on Sat, 08/20/2016 - 5:20pm

prospectus and application form:  https://arcgallery.wufoo.com/forms/home-a-juried-exhibition/
This juried exhibition investigates how home is perceived in a variety of contemporary contexts. Homelessness, routine eviction, migrant work, and the refugee crisis all affect our understanding of home. This exhibition seeks to explore the concept of home in light of these current international and domestic contexts. What does the concept of home mean for the individual and community? This investigation includes, but is not limited to, artistic inquiries of social and cultural identity, economic and political status, gender identity , and ethnic and/or religious heritage.
Exhibition Dates: November 23 - December 17
Opening Reception: Friday, December 2, from 6pm - 9pm
Three monetary awards will be given out for this exhibition: Best in Show and two honorable mentions.
ELIGIBILITY: All mediums and materials are eligible including video and performance for submission. In order to be considered, the artwork submitted must reference the theme "Home.". Due to space limitations no projections or media-based installations will be accepted.

A multi-media artist, he is also a lecturer in the School’s performance department. Associated with SAIC since 1998, Martin has lead projects that bridge education and creative research involving guest artists, faculty, and students and organized numerous exhibitions around performance and multi-media work.
