There will be a public altar outside the Torpedo Factory that will include candles and incense. We especially welcome 3-D works and installation.

Art displayed at Ofrendas—Art of the Dead will take place in this same tradition. For more information: http://artoutlet.org/news/events/ofrenda-art-for-the-dead

New Media, No Boundaries
Deadline: Friday, September 25
VisArts at Rockville (an innovative art center in the Washington DC Metropolitan Region) is seeking works of art that use new media and technology to eliminate psychological or physical boundaries; and, challenge a gallery’s role as mediator between artworks and viewers. New media and technology have the power to eliminate conventional, artistic boundaries. Interactive art, for example, encourages viewers to complete the artwork by actively transforming it visually and conceptually. Artwork can be exhibited remotely, with only the concept (rather than the physical object) in a gallery. Likewise, a viewer may experience a work of art even if they are not in the gallery with the object. Works considered: Artwork with at least one component that uses an electrical and/or battery power source, and created in the past three years. The work does not have to be a physical, gallery object. For more information: www.visartscenter.org
