Chicago Art Events
In the Flesh exhibition opportunity
The Torpedo Factory Art Center’s Target Gallery is hosting In the Flesh, a juried exhibition that focuses on the current trends in contemporary figurative art. This is an excellent chance to submit your artwork based on the wonderment of human figures.
The Center houses more than 165 visual artists who produce artwork in a wide variety of media including painting, ceramics, photography, jewelry, stained glass, fiber, printmaking, and sculpture. The artists invite visitors to join them in their studios and observe their creative processes. You may ask questions, learn about each of their art forms, and purchase original work.
This event is the highlight of Alexandria’s Potomac River waterfront, attracting approximately 700,000 visitors annually. Visit 82 artists’ studios, six cooperative galleries, two workshops, and the Alexandria Archeology Museum. Sign up for an art class with The Art League School. Then stroll along the waterfront, shop and sightsee on nearby historic streets, have a picnic on the dock behind the art center, or eat in the area’s many fine restaurants.
The Torpedo Factory was once a US Naval Torpedo Station, it is a perfect example of the profound effect art imposes and the beneficial and revitalizing transformation art can bring a community after being under the fallout of war. Deadline is July 9th. Visit the Gallery’s site for more information regarding the submission process.
