George Marshall Store Gallery announces a call for art for “Cosmic Things,” a juried group exhibition inspired by the myriad ways the universe communicates with each of us.
New England artists are invited to submit work that explores the signs, symbols, objects and patterns through which we receive and interpret meaning — recurring dreams, animal messengers, coincidences or synchronicities, natural phenomena, totems, touchstones, etc.– — and their translation into personal mythologies, iconographies, and systems of belief.
Selections will be made by Aaron Rosen, PhD, a writer, curator and nonprofit leader. Rosen is founding director of the not-for-profit Parsonage Gallery, executive director of The Clemente Course in the Humanities, and visiting professor at King’s College London. His many books include “What Would Jesus See?” and “Art and Religion in the 21st Century.”
Submission Deadline: April 25, through the form on our website
Notification: May 9
Exhibition Dates: June 14 to July 13
