"Absurdity" Community Exhibition - Decatur Arts Alliance

Overview

The fourth annual Community Exhibition invites emerging and mid-career artists from the greater Atlanta area to submit up to 3 artworks for consideration in this juried showcase exploring the theme of "Absurdity."

Theme

The theme invites artists to explore the space between logic and lunacy. "Absurdity" exposes the tension between truth and disbelief, clarity and confusion. Works should explore the lighthearted and ridiculous, the maliciously distorted, and situations that keep getting worse until you can't help but laugh.

Eligibility & Requirements

Media

All visual art forms are welcome, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, and mixed media.
