METAL
Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to present a juried community exhibition for the month of August: METAL
Metal has contributed its unique qualities to fine art for centuries, and contemporary artists continue to find surprising and inventive ways to utilize it their art practices. Of course sculpture comes to mind, from the monumental rusty steel forms of recently passed minimalist icon Richard Serra to the bright, light, and sharp kinetic works by Colorado Springs’ own Starr Kempf. 2D artists have equally inspiring materials in the form of ever-improving metallic pigments, as well as metal leaf applications.
This call invited artists to submit works that either highlight metal as a primary medium or depict subjects made of metal. All mediums were considered.
