Alexey von Schlippe Gallery - Open Juried Call for Regional Artists
Exhibit: May 10 – June 9
Elective Affinities is a 19th century scientific term for the chemical attraction of certain substances to each other above others; it is the title of Johanne Wolfgang Goethe’s 1809 novel of human relationships directed by kindred feeling; and it is the title of a painting by surrealist painter Rene Magritte of the poetry that resides in the disorienting juxtaposition of related objects.
The AVS Gallery invites artists who reside in eastern Connecticut and southern Rhode Island to submit two-dimensional artworks that explore harmonious affinities, or provocative asymmetries in subject matter or media.
Exhibition dates: May 10 – June 9 | Submission deadline: April 8 at 11:59 pm
