Arnold, MD 21012
Entries due: October 11, 2015
Exhibition dates: November 18-December 16
THEME: Questioning Beauty: Idea vs Quality
Is beauty objective or subjective? Can something elicit the idea of beauty without possessing the qualities traditionally associated with beauty? Can something possess beauty solely through its physical qualities? Or must idea and physical quality coexist in a work of art to truly define it as beautiful?
