Fall Call For Artists
Throughout our lives, we find ourselves in periods of transition -- waiting upon the seasons to change, to hear back from a potential job, for the night to become day, for the ambiguity to clear. These liminal spaces are places in which we leave the comfortable and are pulled into the unknown. The willingness to dwell in the vulnerability, though destabilizing and tense, often leads to discovery, breakthrough, and renewal.
Upside Down’s upcoming exhibit features the themes surrounding the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, which highlights the wilderness (midbar) journey of the ancient Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. Separated from their past life, they stepped into the wilderness, both physically and metaphorically.
Only in this type of environment are they able to encounter themselves and God, which ultimately set them on a trajectory of transformation and growth.
Upside Down Gallery invites artists to creatively interpret the themes of dwelling, the following wilderness wandering, of liminal space, of growth in the midst of life’s uncertainties and margins.
