For many of you, it has been a long time.  But I want to challenge you…to let this theme challenge you.  I don’t often double post in one day, but here is a Call for Entries for the Grand Opening ceremonies for Knoxville Station Transit Center.

This call IS national, not local.  No Entry fee, but you will have to ship your work both ways.  Take a look.  The theme is complicated, but I don’t think it necessarily requires a working knowledge of Knoxville, TN.  Check it out:

Call for Entries:
Knoxville Station Transit Center Grand Opening Ceremonies Exhibition. 
Presented by Knoxville Area Transit (KAT).

Theme:  Artists are asked to consider the statement below when considering pieces for submission. This broad theme encompasses communities, city life and technologies, nature and environment, and of course, movement and transportation:

“Knoxville Station will be the central hub and gateway that connects all of Knoxville to the heart of downtown and beyond. The building’s creative design, artistry, technology and energy efficiency reflect Knoxville’s attitude of a forward-thinking, livable community. The environmental features reflect Knoxville’s respect for the beauty of the city and the region, and the desire to maintain that beauty for all of our residents. With the opening of this facility, Knoxville residents’ transportation options have just been broadened.”
