Artists Invited to Submit Work for 'Fine Tuned' Exhibit
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 31, 2020) – Artists of all ages and ability levels are invited to submit artwork to “Fine Tuned,” an exhibit that addresses themes of health, healing and wellness through the power of music and movement. This exhibit will feature works influenced by music, dance and other forms of movement with a focus toward revealing the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of engaging in these activities.
The exhibit will be showing at the Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center in Lexington, and is presented by UK Arts in HealthCare with sponsorship by CREATE, a grassroots art organization that focuses on the expansion and promotion of the ways in which the arts effect health and wellness.
Original two- and three-dimensional works will be considered, including representational and abstract work. Exhibitors may choose to offer their works for sale, but this is not required. CREATE will retain 20% of the price of any work that is sold during the exhibit.
To have work considered, submit up to three images along with artist name, address, phone number and email address to tatabark@gmail.com, or text to 502-320-3275. Please include title of artwork, medium, dimensions and either price or Not For Sale (NFS) designation.
