Please join us as we welcome Spring to the Crossroads with our newest curated collection, Inside Out.

Let’s reclaim our highest truths together.
Let’s get beautifully, fabulously, uniquely, ourselves. Let’s turn inside out.

Art has been traditionally defined as the expression or application of human creative skills and imagination, typically in a visual form, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty and emotional power. A completed work of contemporary art can be used to describe any work regarded as art in the widest sense in respect to the physical form of visual art. Art invariably presents us with a diverse range of human activities with the finished product naturally expressing the creators imaginative and technical skills. When it comes to arts identification, there are no distinct set of values or aesthetic traits. Art is not perfection; art realistically is something that continues to progressively develop as it is seen, meaning to eagerly open all human capacities, thoughts and emotions. Art represents a unique creation that lets the observer interpret the art and the artists to portray it in whatever way they want whether the work is viewed with same perspective as the observer or not. A creation that allows for interpretation of any kind is art. Art can take on many various forms, but no matter the form it is a form of communication of the artist’s ideas or emotions.

Understanding this we are sending out our call to artists for our upcoming show An Exhibition of Things Called Art. Interpretations of this shows parameters are completely subjective and open for interpretation by the artists. We are looking for all things called art. Follow the link below to submitt
