PROSPECTUS

Armory Art Center invites artists statewide to submit up to two (2) artworks to our juried show, which is in conjunction with our 9th annual Creative Market. 

THEME

FULL CIRCLE: Circles are universal symbols of perpetual motion, balance, and renewal. Nature provides tree rings and seasonal cycles.  In Full Circle, artists create work depicting subjects with a circular form, or exploring symbolism, metaphor, or traditions expanding the basic circle. From oranges to eggs, drum rolls to figure eights, we challenged artists to close the loop, spiral out of control, and share their sphere of influence in this year’s Creative Market juried exhibition.
