New England Sculptors Association (NESA)
and Historic New England
are partnering to sponsor a
Juried Prize Outdoor Exhibition for Sculpture
TITLE: Looking Back with 2020 Vision
THEME
2020 was an unprecedented year and the pandemic shone a light on the many cracks straining our society. Art reflects the world and time in which it was created. How has your art been affected and what stories are you telling? We are interested in showcasing sculptures that are reflecting on the issues of the past year, such as: isolation and fear in a global pandemic; the societal inequities that the pandemic exposed; calls for action and social justice on an incredible scale; ongoing environmental concerns; and the continuing calls for equal rights for all. Consider how the events of 2020 affected you and how your artworks can help us consider these issues in a new light.
