Menlo College Showcasing 85 Artists to Create a Timeline for 85 Years

If you were asked to create an artistic rendition for one year out of the past 85, how would you do it? Menlo College is showcasing artists who will do just that in a unique timeline of art that will exhibit in March 2014.

To celebrate its 85th anniversary, Menlo College is inviting artists around the world to participate in a show that takes a look at the past 85 years through art. Artists will be assigned one year from a random draw of the hat when they register for the show. The art can be a cultural, historical or personal interpretation of the events of that year, and either global, regional or local.

"The Menlo College Art Committee is excited about the concept of this show," said Linda Smith, the College's Associate Dean of Library Services and Co-Chair of the Art Committee. "The element of surprise and the challenge of representing a year are creative incentives that we think will inspire artists from all over the world."

ART DUE January 31, 2014 | EXHIBIT March 17 - July 11, 2014
