America Exhibit

Why 'America?'

Altered Esthetics gallery holds group-shows so that multiple artists of all walks can display their perspectives on a given theme. As many of our artists already know, Altered Esthetics has a history of moving offbeat topics into a constructive creative dialogue, providing a venue for a wide range of views expressed in an even wider range of mediums. 'America' hopes to provide such a platform. This particular competition has an additional challenge to the artists: to create and jury for a show while reflecting on each submission as a whole, not solely the message but also the success of the artistic methods used to communicate it. We encourage artists of all views and mediums to engage in the diverse creative dialogue Altered Esthetics fosters.
