Heroes And Villains Art Exhibition (Fredericksburg, VA) – Call For Artists

Heroes And Villains Art Exhibition (Fredericksburg, VA) – Call For Artists

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] Libertytown Arts Workshop announces a call for artists for Heroes and Villains, a national juried exhibition.

As children, we learned that heroes are brave and true and villains are evil and duplicitous. It was comforting to think of them as opposites, but, as we grew, the lines got blurry and who was a hero and villain sometimes wasn’t obvious. This show is all about what heroes and villains means to you. They can be nationally known or in your home. They can be corporations or movements. They can be archetypal or nuanced. Show us your personal heroes and villains. All mediums welcome.
