The V-Day Art Exhibit The Art Show is in conjunction with V-Week and the performance of the Vagina Monologues. All of the events for the week are centered around raising awareness of violence against women and to raise funds for the Pee Dee Coalition to support their work to help women and their children who have been victims of domestic abuse. Given this mission, we would prefer work that may deal with this issue, other women's issues and/or be women centered pieces, but that is not a requirement, except for the Wearable Art Fashion Show. Participation We have 3 opportunities for artist participation: 1. Art Show and Sale both at FMU and at the PAC We have more space for artists, including wall space, for display at the FMU show, Thursday, March 27 from 5-7:30. On Saturday, March 29, we have limited table space, no wall space, for display at the PAC show, also from 5-7:30. We request that you donate at least 10% of your sales at either of these shows to the Pee Dee Coalition. Here are some pics from this year's (2014) Art Show:     2. Wearable Art Fashion Show For this event we are seeking artists of varying backgrounds and mediums to create pieces that may be displayed on a moving model. The theme of these works should be "Strength", as our theme for the V-Week this year is "Standing Strong". All media welcome and encouraged. These pieces will be displayed just prior to each performance (Thursday, March 27, FMU and Saturday, March 29, PAC) in a "runway" show where each artist will introduce and briefly discuss their piece. 3. E Pluribus Ovum This was inspired by the recent "Art Vending Machine" movement. For this event, we are asking artists to donate small pieces of work that will fit inside a 3.25" plastic egg. You may or may not choose to adorn the egg as well. Eggs may be picked up at the Art Trail Gallery (availability TBA) and at FMU in the Fine Arts Office in the Hyman Fine Arts Building. These works will be sold sight unseen to patrons for $5. Completed, filled eggs must be returned for sale by Monday, March 24 at 12pm. All of the proceeds going to the Pee Dee Coalition. Here is a pic from this year's (2014) E Pluribus Ovum activities:
