11th Annual Playwrights and Artists Festival Call for Submissions

web site

CALL FOR ARTISTS:

When we look at a piece of art each person has a different interpretation of what they see. That is the beauty of art and the challenge to our playwrights. Each year we take three works of art and ask writers to write a play as they are moved or inspired by the artwork. We blind-read the submissions, select the best and produce them. The art is exhibited, we perform the play and ask the audience for feedback. It is our annual mixed media event that draws inquisitive art and theatre lovers to KNOW. Come join us.

Live viewing will be available by appointment only. 
To make an appointment please call 607-724-4341

The pieces are:

1. Barney Ross and the Renaissance or the Art of Boxing: Wayne Claypatch. graphite and colored pencil on paper, 23 x 30 in.
