Call for Art!  Art Pop-up Theme "Soma - The Body"

As part of a new collaboration with the Garage Arts Project, we are thrilled to offer Free Submission for all VAGF members to display their artwork during the Bridges'24 experience at the Frisco Discovery Center the evening of September 21, 2024!

Theme is SOMA (Body) explained:  The body is a paradox, cells pulsating with oxygen, the body represents the potential of life and inevitability of death.  And between life and death, the body is a repository of myriad meaning.  It is human, animal, biological, political, spiritual, and so much more. Let your art map out the contours of what the body means to you.

A brief introduction to Bridges:

Join us for the Bridges Festival to experience the intersection of art and embodiment through commissioned performances. Eight innovative artists have been selected to create new, multidisciplinary works exploring the theme of SOMA (Greek for Body. In association with PlayFrisco Cultural Affairs.

Through diverse performances, including dance, theater, music, and visual arts, SOMA delves into the complexities of the human body as a vessel for expression, identity, and experience. Each performance brings a unique perspective to the theme, creating a rich landscape of creative inquiry and artistic innovation.

At Bridges Festival, we believe that art has the power to bridge gaps and bring people together. Whether you're a seasoned art enthusiast or just looking for a new adventure, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable experience. Get your tickets now and be a part of the bridge-building movement!
