Curated by Kerry Kolenut
This call for art will be Pro Arts first online juried exhibition. The start of this new decade, has plunged us into what once seemed unimaginable, forever changing the way we think about ourselves, the world and how we occupy it. We have been forced to think, act and interact in new and different ways. Hopefully all are safe in their spaces, and can find some creativity and ideas that reflect upon these times, find ways to examine the impact on the world, country, environment, people, and ourselves. Work submitted must be made in 2020 and can be in any medium, including digital, video, and sound. Experimentation is greatly encouraged. The exhibition will be a curated selection from works submitted. The exhibition may have the chance to become a physical show that will move to the Rotunda Gallery at Jersey City City Hall in June, depending on the Coronavirus situation at that time. Video and sound work may not be able to move.
