“Breaking the Rules”

The Members Show

at the Yellow Springs Arts Council

February 17^th-March 12^th

Ok, time to throw out the rules.

What rules? Art rules? Your rules?  Your Mom's rules?  Society's rules?

Can't do it?  How about bending the rules, pussyfooting around the rules.

Maybe it's memories of breaking the rules.

 You can start with figuring out what the rules are for you when you make art.

Then go on to rules you have lived by.

Rules you have broken.

Rules you were told to live by.

Rules our society makes.

Rules we break.

Of course, you can always break these rules by not breaking rules.

 Work in any medium. 

The first artwork submission is free to members.  There is a $10.00 entry fee for a second piece.

Work may be NFS or priced for sale (a 25% commission goes to YSAC on each sale) 

This show has a 2 foot horizontal dimension limit.

Drop off dates are February 4rth and 5^th. (1-4 p.m.) at the YSAC Community gallery (111 Corry St.)  We will have you fill out a form (and pay if you have a second piece) when you bring your artwork to the gallery.

Not a member of YSAC?
