Artist submissions are open again for ‘FREEDOMS 2‘, a multimedia exhibition hosted by Northwest LGBT Pride 2011. The exhibition will run from August 11th – 26th 2010 at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre, Manorhamilton.
Works should illustrate artists’ perceptions of freedom, both personal and social and/or address issues of diversity, restriction and independent choices. Submission to ‘FREEDOMS 2‘ is open to artists working in all kinds of media/mixed-media. We also invite digital work from international artists, particularly those in countries where sexual or other freedoms are restricted.
free-dom: 1. a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any, or any undue, restraints and restrictions. 2. the right to speak or act without restriction, interference, or fear. 3. openess and friendliness in speech or behaviour. 4. the ability to exercise free will and make choices independently of any external determining force.
