THEME
Global Warming is REAL. As nations and economies shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pollution levels and human patterns change in ways that were detectable by satellites. As all types of social, economic, industrial, and urban activity suddenly shut off, nature took advantage and showed improvement in the quality of air, rivers, less noise pollution, and undisturbed and calm wildlife. COVID-19 may have temporarily lessened our carbon footprint, giving us a view in to what our individual effect on Global Warming constitutes. At the same time, Climate Change is becoming more visible and tangible through increased fires, glacier melting, and warming oceans. A creative interpretation of your thoughts and feelings on this subject as expressed through art will be the heart of this exhibition. There are no parameters to your expression, only that your artwork be current. The juror will make their selections based on the interpretation of the Global Warming is REAL theme as well as the quality of the submitted artwork.
ELIGIBILITY/CONDITIONS

No size limitations for online work – size is up to you, please take shipping costs into account, and we’ve found that smaller (24 x 24 inch) works sell best online.
