Paper Work: An Exhibition of Works In, On, & Of Paper
The CAC wants to see what you can do with paper! The role paper has played in art over the centuries is as diverse as the medium itself. Paper can be a support for wet and dry media, a vehicle for producing prints and photographs, or a creative tool for building collage and sculpture. And artists continue to get more and more creative with how paper is incorporated and featured in their work. For this exhibition we are accepting any format and medium that uses paper – we want to see how paper factors into an artist’s choices. We hope to see paper that is drawn on, painted on, printed on, cut, shaped, glued, and molded. Make paper the star of your creation!
Dates of Exhibition: January 14 - April 19, 2025
Media Accepted: All media, including, but not limited to: Oils & Acrylics, Photography & Digital Media, Prints, Drawings, Watercolors, Collage & Mixed Media, Sculpture, or any medium using paper.
Awards: Grand Prize $500 Two Awards of Merit $200 Four Honorable Mentions $50
Juror: Chelsea Gilmore, Professor of Art & Gallery Director, Modesto Junior College
