Artomatic at Busboys and Poets Artists Call

0 Digs

For the past 10 years, Busboys and Poets has welcomed local and regional visual artists to exhibit at its locations. The mixtures of art in these spaces question, explore, enlighten and share a vision of social issues and beauty. It’s the Busboys’ aesthetic!

The Busboys and Artomatic Art Exhibition will be spread across all six locations and be on display from September 27 thru January 9th, 2016. We are encouraging submissions in three categories: 2-D images, selected 3-D works that do not require floor space, (i.e., can be placed on ledges or bookshelves, etc.) and location specific installations. See below.
