Call to VCPG Artists
VCPG at Beatrice Wood Art Center – “It’s About Time”
Attention all VCPG Members:
Application, Images & Fee Due Date: August 14
Event Dates: September 17 – October 29
There are many ways to show the passage of time: clocks, calendars,
changing seasons and human life (childhood to old age). There is the
contrast of the past, present and future. You can address these many
aspects of time through form and surface design. See Newsletter for more information and application.
