Today Is A New Day

Every day – every moment – is a new beginning, a new opportunity to decide what direction you want your life to take you. Whether you choose to seek out funding to sustain your work or find ways to put that work out into the world, you have countless moments in which to make your dreams come true and as many opportunities to choose from. An artist must ceaselessly seek out those things that will not only further their career, but enrich their experience of the world and, in turn, deepen their understanding and their art.

The Missoula Art Museum invites all artists to submit their work to an open call for the upcoming exhibition The Space of Hope: A Collective Response. This is part of a larger project in conjunction with the CODEX Foundation. In their own words, the project “aims to produce a multimedia and multivenue art intervention, which investigates extractive industry (any process or businesses associated with removing materials and natural resources from the earth) in all forms. Examples include coal mining, oil drilling, commercial fishing, deforestation, and more.” The title of the exhibition in Missoula comes from a Rebecca Solnit quote. For more information and to submit, visit the website. Deadline is April 25.
