[Forum] Call for Submissions from Gallery 181 in Lawrence, MA

[Joshua Field]

call to artists from GALLERY 181

LANDSCAPES/MINDSCAPES 

Gallery 181 is quickly establishing itself as an exciting and innovative 
exhibition space, located in the historic turn-of-the-century mill city of 
Lawrence, Massachusetts, USA.  The city is open and eager culturally, welcoming all 
types of arts events, and is becoming a mecca for artists!  The nature of these 
mill buildings has provided artists with wonderful studio spaces, galleries, 
and the projection for the future of this city is quite optimistic due to the 
energetic creativity of its inhabitants and visitors.  Gallery 181 is located 
within one of these mill buildings, a common area to many businesses and 
shops.  The space is enormous and challenging, and we have been fortunate to 
continue and expand upon our very exciting and innovative exhibitions!  Please go to 
www.caladangallery.com/sites/gallery181 <
http://www.caladangallery.com/sites/gallery181>  to see our present endeavors. 


With the upcoming "Landscapes/Mindscapes" exhibition, we seek to fill the 
abundance space of the gallery with work that will reflect the beauty of the 
season of our region and the feeling of expansion that it brings along with it.   
We also will not  limit these works - it is also within the realm of mind and 
imagination that the translation of the reality of the environment takes 
place.   Therefore we have extended our scope to include not only the landscape in 
the more traditional and contemporary sense,  but also that which is a 
reflection of the imagination...this can include the exploration of spacial 
relationships, space itself, or doors of the mind that have sprung open to reveal a 
world inside.
