PAWTUCKET ART COLLABORATIVE??
This Land Is??? (your land, dying, beautiful, my land, lost,
found, wonderful, horrible, and on and on and on???..)
What is landscape? Is it merely a report of what’s seen? Must it convey a sense of place? Does a landscape catch a moment in time? Or maybe create one? Is it a memory? Can it depict a fantasy space? Or a location only visited in dreams? Or what if it isn’t a landscape at all but made from one? What if THIS LAND IS… is about the environment or the ownership of a country?
Whether your visition of landscape is traditional or avant garde, beautiful or ugly, hostile or safe, PAC invites you submit your work to “This Land Is…”
Best wishes, and good luck
Pawtucket Arts Collaborative
