What's On Your Plate
What’s On Your Plate? Asks artists to investigate the entanglement of food, time, commitment, and ecology. How is what we eat related to our personal history, and to the climate emergency? What should be on our plate as we think about our planet’s future? If we love the place where we live, what are we willing to do for it, and for each other?
Submission form:
Deadline for submission: April 26, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
Wall art only for submission, please
Must be wired for display; no sawtooth hangers.
Using Plates as a jumping off point, follow the question in any direction. Explore plates themselves as raw material or as a prompt for thinking about humorous or celebratory statements; pointed social commentary; the emotional, financial, and familial fodder of our lives, or a stage where we perform the joy of eating. All interpretations are welcome for submission to this community art exhibit.
Curated by Exploded View, a multi-disciplinary arts group, the exhibit will take place in May and June at the Great Falls Discovery Center in Turners Falls. A variety of related programming focusing on the Center’s year-long theme of food, farms, and factories is planned during the two months of the exhibit, including How to Make a Meadow, What’s Made in Present-Day Montague, a Downtown Foraging Walk, and an Edible Plants presentation. Opening and closing receptions will include creative performances by Exploded View.
Artists living within 60 miles of Montague, Massachusetts are eligible.
100% of the sale price will go to the artists; neither Exploded View or the venue will handle sales—buyers will have to contact artists directly to purchase the work.
Up to three (3) submissions will be considered.
Drop off will be Saturday, May 4, 10 a.m. to noon.
Opening reception is May 5, 2-4 p.m.
