Description

Susquehanna Art Museum invites artists to submit work to this year's Dōshi Gallery Juried Exhibition, NIGHTFALL. Artists are asked to delve into the concept of oncoming night, whether metaphorically or through medium and technique. One may equate the twilight hours with rest and comfort, while others may anticipate the excitement of nightlife. Many also view fleeting light with apprehension and fear. Throughout history, artists have used various techniques and media to explore the nuance between the light/dark binary and to compel viewers to consider what the absence of light conjured, or what stark illumination reveals. Applicants are asked to explore what NIGHTFALL means to contemporary society, to artistic practices, and to themselves. Work in all media is welcome for consideration, and selections will be made based on the applicability to the theme as well as the group of pieces that work best as a whole. Submissions are limited to works with a maximum dimension of 72 inches.
