SNICKERS
You know how I love a theme. I hear the snickers…I am proud to love a theme. I once had an art critic wonder aloud (in print anyway) if my love for a theme didn’t occasionally cloud my curatorial vision. Ouch, right?
Here’s a great Art Show Theme…Shift…Change…Movement. Any interpretation you fancy will be fine for this Call for Entries from the BECA Foundation. Check it out:
BECA Foundation presents:

The space allocated for the exhibition is 650 sqft (60 sq meters) with a ceiling height of 14 feet (4.3 meters) allowing the exhibition to fill a full 9,100 cubic feet (258 meters cubed) of viewing space.
