EXHIBIT THEME
We invite artists to creatively consider and explore how art can be more accessible to a diverse audience, which includes visitors with and without disabilities. To do this we invite artists to create new artwork(s) that reinterpret selected artworks from the City of Ottawa’s Fine Art Collection.
The exhibition theme, Perceptions, encourages submitting artists to explore various aspects of perception — how we understand the world, ourselves, and how we are understood. Phenomenal or physical perceptions may include experiencing the world with/without sound, with/without sight, and through various modes of language, movement, touch, etc…Psychological or cognitive perceptions may include how we believe we are perceived by others, and how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. This reinterpretation should challenge, explore or alter the perceptions of the audience while also creating more accessible art.
