to create original performance and exhibitions, is curating a community art show 
to premier at the Great Falls Discovery Center in Turners Falls during the month of September.

Artists living in Western Massachusetts are invited to submit artwork on, about or related to paper, its personal or local significance, or your creative interpretation thereof — use your imagination!

Email up to three jpegs, with a brief description of each, including title, dimensions and materials, 
along with your name, address, and phone number to explodedviewma@gmail.com 
by August 22 to be juried into the show.

Participants who are able to make a small donation of $5 to help with reception costs 
may do so at drop-off time, but there are no submission fees for this show.
