Disturbance of distance
Our first juried exhibition of site specific work opens November 15, 2008.
THE CALL IS NOW!
Box 13 Artspace is housed in a beautiful two-story brick building built in the late 1940’s. There are many interesting architectural features, including a grand wooden staircase in one of the main gallery spaces. Because of the possibilities of this atypical location, for our first juried show, we are looking for proposals that think outside the box.
