Waterfall Arts, a contemporary art center located in
Belfast and Montville, Maine is announcing an open
call for artists to participate in its Spring 2008
exhibition: “Treading Lightly: One Foot at a Time.”
The “curator” for this open show will be a one cubic
foot box. 12" x 12" x 12" x 12" All work conforming to the “curator’s” dimensions and
the exhibition’s theme will be included in the
exhibition; (2D or 3D) This is an open, non-juried
show. Also, the works can be smaller than one cubic
foot.

Criteria for acceptance in the exhibition:
Work should address our human imprint on the earth
reflecting Waterfall Arts’ mission of
“generating awareness of the deep connections between
art + nature in the lives of all people.”
This can be done by simply creating art using recycled
material. Your iterpretation of the Waterfall Arts
mission statement is strongly encouraged
Work can be in any media, but must be one cubic foot
or under in size.
For multiple entries, we ask that your personal
