Elemental Contest Exhibition Calling for Submissions
We are pleased to announce the open call for submissions for the 1st annual co-hosted exhibition and competition, "Elemental," in partnership between Speedball Art and Iredell Arts Council. The theme sprung from the desire to inspire and appeal to all artists across the diverse technical backgrounds that are found within our Speedball communities, and yet still be tied to a powerful and unifying framework. "Elemental," speaks to the basic and foundational pieces that make up that which is most important to you, your work, or our world. We invite you to explore the full meaning and great potential found within this simple word and examine how best to represent what "Elemental" forces resonate most powerfully with you.
April is here, and we have something big going on!
Our rock-star product, Super Black India Ink, is getting a month-long carnival with over 20 artists from all over the world participating. Each of them is bringing their newest work created using the Super Black India Ink and showing the endless possibilities inspired by the great working properties of this ink.
