A Call To Artists: After The Wildfire: Reflections on Resiliency, Re-building and Recovery


We invite you to contribute to our exhibit

After The Wildfire: Reflections on resiliency,
 re-building and recovery 

Presented by Confluence Gallery at the Phoenix Festival in Twisp, WA.


The show will open on October 3rd at the Phoenix Festival in the Education Station space and will then move to a venue TBD and run thru December 2015.


For this exhibit, we are asking artists to respond to aftermath of the catastrophic wildfires in 2014 OR the current struggle with 2015 Okanogan Complex.

The 256,108 acre Carlton Complex Fire started on July 14, by lightning from a weather system that moved through the Methow Valley. Everyone who lived through those long months was affected in some way. What did you experience once the flames died out and the smoke cleared? Tell your story through art and share it with the community at the Phoenix Festival October 3rd on the Twispworks Campus in Twisp,WA.

Number of pieces to submit: up to 3 pieces per artist.

Here are the rules- Each piece must be:
Your own original work.
Available for sale.
Created in after the wildfires of 2014 or 2015
Any Size
Any Medium
Ready for hanging with appropriate hardware/wire secured to work
