CALL TO ARTISTS
WET a juried exhibit
Entry deadline Friday, Feb. 10, 2023
We invite content that examines the myriad facets and impacts of water, from the presence of water as ocean and rain to its absence as desert and tundra. There is a broad spectrum of subject matter to consider: infrastructure like aqueducts, canals and reservoirs; the extremes of weather and climate; activities from shipping to drinking to bathing - all the myriad facets of life that arise as a consequence of the presence of water on the earth.
This is a regional exhibit. All participants welcome from the Pacific Northwest region (WA/OR/AK/ID/MT/WY and BC).
