Ancestors Exhibition at the Museum of Friends
Dear Artist and Friends,
The Museum of Friends invites Artists in All Media of all levels to submit an installation of their artwork for inclusion for the 2018 “Ancestor” Exhibit as MOFs annual El Dia de los Muertos Exhibition. Each participant will have a 10’ area space in the ground floor changing exhibition area to design their installation that explores the theme of honor towards our Ancestors or important people in our lives who have passed.
Please consider submitting your work for an exhibition scheduled to open October 27th from 2 pm until 7 pm entitled “Ancestors.” This exhibition has been planned to acknowledge those who have passed and the people left behind who cope with loss. Loss is part of all of our shared experience. However this past summer in Huerfano County brought the Spring Creek fire and its aftermath. This was more than most of us were prepared to comprehend.
In respect to those who were effected by the fire and being evacuated and many who lost their homes, the Museum of Friends is inviting artists to create a new installation that explores mourning, loss or any aspect of the memory of ancestors.
Each participant will be given an approximate 10’ space to fill with photographs, zeroxes, gi-clee prints, original art, sculpture, fabric works and material ephemera or objects that reference the ancestor who has passed.
Please see Artist Submission form for relevant dates and information or give us a call to discuss your idea and how it may fit in with the show: 719-738-2858 or visit www.museumoffriends.org or email: info@museumoffriends.org
