Call to Artists: Borders—illusions that constrain us

Borders: illusions that constrain us / a call to artists
The Birds of Vermont Museum seeks works that share visions of birds, borders, and boundaries, now and into the future, for our 2020 art exhibit, Borders: illusions that constrain us.

What borders do birds encounter? Our maps do not typically reflect the territories they perceive, the ranges they travel, or the barriers they comes across. How do birds’ boundaries connect to human borders? To those of other species? Edges of things—physically, spatially, temporally— raise questions, not least of which is “Is it really there?” We ponder this, wondering, how do and will these encounters and connections alter us, birds, and the borders themselves?

The art show runs from May 1 to October 31 at the Birds of Vermont Museum. Art in any media, by new or returning artists, of any age, may be submitted. Visual, written, and multi-media works may be considered. Submit up to 3 pieces by sending no more than three (3) .jpgs showing them to museum@birdsofvermont.org. For non-visual works, feel free to describe it or send a short sample.

Entries are due by Monday, March 16, 2020.
