We invite you to submit work for consideration in our Drawing Rooms exhibit, “Flower Power Right On”.
Who doesn’t love flowers? Flowers are everywhere in nature– in forests, meadows, mountains, desert plains, freshwater/marine environments, national parks, woodlands, grasslands and along streams. We live with them in our own personal environments, both inside our houses and outdoors in our gardens. Looking at flowers generally makes us feel happier, calmer, and more positive, reducing stress and anxiety while increasing feelings of compassion and life satisfaction. Flowers can evoke joy, inspire hope, and offer a meditative distraction from worries, boosting overall well-being.
“Flower Power Right On” is looking for depictions of individual flowers or groups of flowers– from a distance or microscopically, flowers as an element in a landscape, or as part of a narrative scene, or part of a pattern or design, flowers as a symbol or metaphor, or flowers created simply for the beauty they contain. Flowers can be realistic or abstracted, real or invented. Go to town!
Acceptable media includes painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, photography, sculpture or any other fine art.
In keeping with our love of music, “Flower Power Right On” is dedicated to the song “Flowers” by pop-singer Miley Cyrus. We’ve seen Miley grow up in front of the camera, from early teen Disney days, coming of age controversies, to more recently as an adult dealing with independence and empowerment after a breakup in her self-love anthem “Flowers” which was a huge hit, covered by so many artists and social media parodies– with lyrics so many can relate to.
