QUARANTINE ART EXHIBITION CALL FOR ENTRIES

Quad City Arts’ plan to help regional artists stay motivated by creating artwork throughout the Quarantine which began in March 2020, will continue into 2021 with the culminating exhibition of chosen works postponed to October 2021. The plan is to share the artwork with the public when we can safely gather socially. As the pandemic wears on, it is more important than ever for people to express themselves creatively. “Art is the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos.” (Saul Bellow)
