Call for Artists Submission for “Square Foot of War “Open Exhibition
February 8th 2013-March 8th 2013
The Oxford Community Art Center
(OCAC) is seeking submissions for “SQUARE
FOOT OF WAR” from local and regional artists. All entry forms must be
submitted no later than January 11th, 2013.
Inspired by the book, Shade It Black: Death and After in Iraq by Jess Goodell with
John Hearn, the Oxford Community Arts Center is accepting entries for an open
exhibition, Square Foot of War. Shade It Black is a haunting
book by former marine Jess Goodell and describes her service in Iraq with the
Mortuary Affairs Unit. Her absorbing account raises issues of evolving
perspectives regarding gender relations, service, violence, courage, loss and
strength. The OCAC is seeking entries that relate to these issues and the
multi-faceted, traumatic effect of war… not
just the war in Iraq.”
Any medium, genre and style may be submitted. All
artworks must be 12” x 12” or sculpture may be 1 cubic foot. Entry forms are available in the OCAC office, at www.Oxarts.org ,
or by emailing chrissy@oxarts.org . There is no submission fee required.
The
exhibition will run from February 8th through March 1st, 2013 and be open to the public.
