Call for Submissions: One Read Art Exhibit

Flight
A One Read Art Exhibit
Orr Street Studios (106 Orr Street, Columbia)

Inspired by this year’s One Read book “Migrations,” we invite Mid-Missouri artists ages 16 and older to contribute works that explore the idea of movement, escape or adventure. Flight may be literal or metaphorical, real or fantastical, natural or mechanized.

Cash prizes will be awarded for three winners, sponsored by Columbia’s Office of Cultural Affairs. The third place winner will receive $50, second place $75 and first place $125.

The exhibit will take place September 10-20, and can be viewed at a reception on Friday, September 13 or during Orr Street Studios’ open hours. (See www.orrstreetstudios.com for details.)

“There is nothing so disturbing as a creature born to flight being bound to dull lifelessness.”

― Charlotte McConaghy, “Migrations”
