Art Alchemy East invites you to submit to the now annual 2023 Pi ART SQUARED (π r 2) SHOW.
We've all heard about the traditional square foot shows, but no one can put artists in a box! The Artist needs to take materials and transform them, create their own worlds and realities, and now you can do that, in the ROUND.
Pi r-squared (π r 2) is the formula for the area of a circle of radius r. The lowercase Greek letter pi (written π ) stands for the ratio of circumference to diameter, which is the same for all circles because they all have the same shape. I just love the symmetry of that and, so, the original Art Alchemy Pi ART-squared (π r 2) Exhibition was born!
IMPORTANT DATES:
- Submission Deadline: January 6, 2023.
- This year’s show will be March 9 – 16, 2023 - during Pi ART Squared Day (3.14 or March 14th)
- Opening Night: Friday March 9, 2022, 7-10pm
