Objective
The objective of this exhibition is to give AAG Associate Members an opportunity to display a current Body of Work. Each artist accepted must display three pieces that were created in the same medium and are stylistically and thematically consistent with each other. As you select your entries for the Body of Work exhibition, imagine you were invited to exhibit in a gallery. You would want to convey that the same artist was responsible for all of the artworks.
