Life is a Journey

Submission DeadlineSaturday, August 5, 2023

Reception Date: September 21, 2023

Bring In Day: September 17, 2023

Description: Some people think of an experience as a journey, while others think of it as a trip or a destination. How can one’s life experience encourage, inspire, and evoke their creative aspiration?

As artists, we sometimes consider the conceptual application of art as a journey. Art doesn’t have to have a destination or an end, it is on a constant continuum. How has the pandemic changed your life’s journey? How can we continue to evolve as we all learn to embrace the “new normal?”

We invite you to capture your most meaningful expression artistically of your life’s voyage.
