Introduced in 2017, the FOCUS series features the work of ten artists in a theme-based exhibition. Selections are curated by a different juror for each exhibition with each artist represented by multiple examples of their work in service to the particular show’s theme. 

Illumination

Some may interpret this as spiritual radiance as emanating from the life force of the self, plants or creatures. For others, the term may inspire the dramatic effects of sunset upon the landscape or the impact of a brilliant high-keyed palette or the results of the photographic manipulation of light and shadow. Whatever the word conjures in your mind, we welcome your submissions for the next FOCUS exhibition.

People, pets, nations, and institutions have birthdays. For example, WAAM is celebrating its Centennial this year with a full schedule of events and exhibitions. While some of us would actually like to forget about birthdays, others revel in the celebration. Artists are asked to submit works that reflect how they perceive a widely accepted but not often closely examined cultural phenomenon: the Birthday.
