CALL FOR ENTRY – Home is where the heart is – Foundry Art Centre – St. Charles

CALL FOR ENTRY

We’ve all heard that “home is where the heart is”, but what

does that mean to you? The Foundry Art Centre’s Juried

Exhibition Going Home asks the artist to explore the question

of what is meant by “home”. Is it a place, a feeling, a person,

a concept? Does it ground you or set you free? Is it where you

begin, end, or reside? Open to all media, we invite you to

share your version of home.

ENTRY FEE

Artists may submit up to three works for a non-refundable

processing fee of $35. Foundry Art Centre members may

submit up to three works for a non-refundable fee of $24.

JUROR

community in East Central Missouri, received a B.M.Ed. in

Music Education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis in

1972, and earned a Master of Arts in Black and White

Missouri in 1982.

college level in the St. Louis area. He teaches courses in

black and white film photography, alternative photographic

processes and digital photography. From educating kindergartners

teaching.
