Story: True or Not So Much! is sponsored by the Negri Foundation. Hosted by Lisa Bebi @ AMP
This exhibition seeks raw, psychological, primal work in any medium. It may include realism, abstraction, or a hybrid of both. It could be obvious or unclear, fanciful or serious, conceptual, or an interpretation of personal events. Does the work make sense? Doesn’t matter. We are looking for authentic styles from primitive to modern hyper-realism.
Open to USA artists, 18 years and older. This is an inclusive competition.
Any written narratives accompanying the work will be read by the juror - some may be selected to post in the show.
