"Project 4 X 6"

art offerings measuring 4 x 6 inches

 

February 27 thru April 2, 2009

Manatee Community College, Bradenton

Fine Arts Building

Women Contemporary Artists 2009 Exhibition Project 4 x 6 was planned as an exercise in small works. This show is very different for the organization with "out of the box" thinking, presenting a challenge to the members to create and explore the possibilities of any media on a 4 x 6 inch canvas.  The artists' own styles applied to the canvases will produce a show that is uniform in size but not in artistic diversity.

Juror: Mark Anderson, Ringling College of Art and Design
