TAKE PRIDE: Hair & Fiber


  • Oak Park Art League 720 W. Chicago Ave. Oak Park IL. 60302 US (map)

Celebrate pride month, ethnic identity and diverse traditions and cultures through the medium of fiber and especially hair. This open call judged exhibition will highlight works focused on how the fiber we all produce is able to portray an individual’s identity. Explorations of how fiber can be used to reflect the interweaving of community while still representing individuality, artifice, facade, pride, protection or disguise are all welcome interpretations and valid explorations during Pride month. All media welcome, made of or depicting hair.

Judge(s): TBA
