CALL FOR ENTRY: UNDERDeadline: Sunday, April 29, 2018, Midnight The Scarab Club invites submissions for its UNDER exhibition. UNDER is an all-media, juried exhibition where artists are encouraged to interpret and expand on the wide range of meanings and possibilities associated with the word "under".
The purpose of the exhibition is to recognize the diversity and achievement of artists whose work shows creativity of concept, excellence of design and expertise of media; to display these works to regional audiences and to be an educational opportunity for students. JUROR: JEANNE BIERIJeanne grew up on a farm in Hastings, Michigan, taught in a two-room school house in Hopkins, Michigan, got married and moved to Detroit in 1972. In the 1980’s, she discovered art-making, began to translate the visual world into her own terms, and earned an MFA from Wayne State University. Jeanne uses sewing as a way to move ideas and images, a type of visual problem solving that keeps the artistic process flexible. She is a 2017 Kresge Fellow.
