2007 COMMUNITY ART PROJECT - WHY?

The theme for the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission’s 2007 Community Art Project is WHY? Now in its fourth very successful year, this community-wide exhibition will be on view in public places throughout Chapel Hill and Carrboro in April and May 2007. Take this opportunity to create!

To be a part of this project, the CHPAC invites everyone who lives, works, or plays in Chapel Hill and Carrboro to create an artwork based on the theme WHY? Any interpretation of WHY? is welcome! From a child’s need to know (Why is the
sky blue?) to the wise elder’s reflections (Why can’t we have peace?), we all remain curious about the conundrums of modern life. What questions concern you? Your submission can be personal or global, serious or funny – be creative!  Why not?

HOW TO ENTER

Guidelines:  All submissions must be able to hang on the wall, and should be no larger than 24 x 36 inches. We cannot accept your artwork without a proper hanging system. If you have questions about hanging or framing please visit
www.communityartproject.org, or call 919-968-2749.

Deliver your submissions on March 23rd or 24th between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at The Chapel Hill Museum, 523 East Franklin Street (corner of Franklin and Boundary Streets). Please deliver your artwork with the entry form and statement card filled out.  The statement card is the only format we will display with your piece; do not bring additional pages. You may submit your work anonymously, but please submit an anonymous statement also.  At the exhibit’s end, pick up your artwork on June 2, 2007, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at The Chapel Hill Museum. If you
are unable to pick up your artwork at that time, you will need to make alternative arrangements before May 31st.
