All Media. ONE piece only.

Receiving: February 4 (pickup artwork March 4)
Reception: February 7 (4:00 – 6:00 pm)

Empowerment can refer to the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights. We are looking for artwork inspired by empowerment in your own life or the world at large.  Explore your own lifestyle, job, religion, observations, race, gender roles, and/or life experiences and create a piece of art in any medium that speaks to empowerment in your life. This will create a show reflecting the diversity of our community.  Additionally, in February, Falmouth Art Center’s Book Club will discuss artist Betye Saar’s book, “The Heart of a Wanderer,” which celebrates diversity and empowerment.

Here is a quote by Betye Saar to inspire you: “It is my goal as an artist to create works that expose injustice and reveal beauty.In-Person Book Club Meeting: Betye Saar: Heart of a Wanderer  The rainbow is literally a spectrum of color while spiritually a symbol of hope and promise.”
