Kaleidoscope
National Juried Exhibition
January 6 – Feb 8, 2020
Deadline to enter 5 pm Friday November 22, 2019
Juried by Gavin Glakas

When viewed through a kaleidoscope, the world alters and beautifully distorts reality through its lens. Gallery Clarendon seeks art which challenges the viewer to see the world through a different lens; art which challenges perceptions, depicts alternate viewpoints and reality or simply shows the beauty in seeing things from a different angle. Artists will be asked to submit a statement with their work explaining how it fits the theme.

IF YOU ARE ENTERING THIS SHOW - PLEASE BE CERTAIN THAT YOUR WORK WILL BE AVAILABLE IF ACCEPTED  - NOT IN ANY CURRENT ART SHOW OR ANY ONLINE OR OTHER VENUE WHERE IT MAY SELL OR OTHERWISE BE UNAVAILABLE. IF YOU PLAN TO SHIP YOUR WORK, BE SURE YOU HAVE RESEARCHED THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SHIPPING BEFORE ENTERING.  REMEMBER THAT IF YOUR WORK IS ACCEPTED AND YOU THEN DO NOT EXHIBIT, YOU ARE POTENTIALLY TAKING AWAY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANOTHER ARTIST TO BE ACCEPTED.
