“When Pigs Fly” invites artists to envision the impossible, the surreal, and the fantastical. Inspired by the idiom suggesting that something is utterly improbable, this theme encourages participants to explore the limits of imagination and break free from the constraints of reality. Silly or serious, mystical or magical, truth or fiction, political or personal…we welcome broad interpretations based on the theme. And, unless you wish, pigs need not be involved!
Special events will be planned all summer long in tandem with the exhibit.
