Bird’s Nest Invitational, 2010 

New Day by Roseta Santiago

 

The Bird’s Nest Invitational is a special exhibition for spring 2010. Inspired by artist Roseta Santiago’s recent series of bird’s nest paintings—and the feelings evoked by this powerful symbol of security and comfort, yet also the excitement of first flights—we invite you to submit up to two pieces (drawings, paintings, photography or sculpture) relating to these themes. Two dimensional works need to be no larger than 528  inches square each or about approximately 22x24 inches. (Sculpture should not exceed 24" in any direction.)
