TOUCH, A Virtual Exhibition

Juror/Curator: Gina Lee Robbins June 5–30, 2020 Facebook Live Opening: Saturday, June 13 | 2–3 p.m.

CHICAGO –– Inspired by the current pandemic, this exhibition looks at something that many of us have had to completely do without: TOUCH. Most of the world is under order to shelter in place, practice social distancing, stay 6 feet away from each other. This is particularly punishing given that the tactile is such an integral part of the way we develop human relationships. In fact, our use of the word “touch” in English has long referred to how we stay connected–even from a distance.

In curating the 430 entries, Gina Lee Robbins looked for very specific personal responses to the theme. She began to see touch as its own complex language. Robbins selected works that convey the myriad ways we use touch to communicate with ourselves, others and

Exhibition Description: It’s been 100 years since women were given the right to vote in the United States. In this exhibition, WMG is soliciting work by female identified artists who represent the experience of being a woman and the nuanced (and overt) ways that being female supports or subverts your daily life. Artwork should reflect your narrative experience – your story of being female. We’re searching for a variety of voices to share triumphs and setbacks that highlight gains made or what is missing in our society in terms of equality between the sexes. What is your story and how is it woven into a struggle for equality over 100 years old that has only definitively delivered the right

Truth as a Contested Concept Exhibition Dates: November 1 – 23, 2019 Final Entry Due Date: August 30, 2019 Juror: Indira Freitas Johnson

Exhibition Description: “Truth as a Contested Concept” is open to all artists whose work addresses the theme.

We used to think of truth as being absolute. That our choices were binary. But today truth is a contested concept. One of the many questions that come up is whether truth is subject to human interpretation. Does truth change according to circumstances so that what is true for a particular time is not true at a different time? Does this mean that truth for one person may not necessarily be the same for everyone? If this is the case, can anyone really know “the truth”? The juror is interested in creating a dialog around what we consider truth to be. Do
