EXHIBIT THEME

Repeat After Me

Repeat (verb) 1. Say again, 2. Say from memory, 3. To make or do again, 4. To express or present oneself again

This call for art invites you to explore the theme of repetition in many ways. We are the experts in our own experiences. This call positions the artist as the teacher. What do you want people to know through your art? What interests does your art share? Are there topics or interests that you return to over and over again in your work? Does repetition play a role in your process? We are excited to learn how you interpret this theme!
