Tinley Park - September, 2013 - Always Something...

We are currently accepting submissions for our upcoming Midwest Surface Design Association’s juried exhibition “Always Something…”. Things often do not go our way. When this happens, what do we experience? When our intentions are blocked, what do we perceive? We want to see how the unexpected can provide opportunity to view the world in a new way.

Deadline for digital submission is July 29, 2013 at Midnight CST. The exhibition will be held in September, 2013 at the Vogt Visual Arts Center in Tinley Park, Illinois. All current U.S. Midwest SDA members are invited to participate.
