A gallery exhibition at the Alpharetta Arts Center in partnership with the City of Alpharetta's Cultural Services, Arts Alpharetta hosts an open call for 'Layers.'
What meaning or message is unveiled through layers? As humans, we our personalities are layered. Our emotions are layered. As artists, how do we use layers to convey or express an idea? For artisans, the use of layers can be critical to construction in specific media. Fabric, fibers, paint, glazes, screen prints, clay, additive sculpture? All could be considered as a means of exploring the depths of creativity. And sometimes, the joy of creating involves the use of layers in the construction of the piece. All media welcomed.
Exhibition Dates: August 7 - September 28, 2024
