“Ocean Rising II” — Call for Art
The scene of the world has not changed much from 2023/2024. This includes the weather and the issues with the waters on the planet. We love our planet so much and love the water!
Therefore, again, this year, we want to focus again on water. The flooding continues and the inches of water rise. Being next to the bay in Newport, watching the old homes get taller, as they are lifted, we can see the reality of water rising.
Thus, this year’s art focus should be the sea level rise, flooding, and the like! Let’s see what you all come up with. Details on the opening and submission are below.
