The Compass Music and Arts Center in Brandon is accepting submissions for the juried photography exhibit “It’s the Little Things.”The exhibit runs from Jan. 13-Feb. 25. All submissions are due Dec 2.
We often hear “It’s the little things in life that matter the most.”Yet we allow ourselves to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of work, responsibilities, reaching that next goal, and the general speed in which we live our lives. This exhibit is a chance to reflect on the little things in life, the details, that when accumulated, equal a more joyful, fulfilling life. We all need to remember, as author Kurt Vonnegut stated, “Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.”
Submissions will be considered by Vermont photographers Denise Letendre Bach, Norma Montaigne and Lowell Snowdon Klock, and judged based on the submitting artist’s interpretation of the “It’s the Little Things”theme. A cash prize will be awarded, along with future exhibiting opportunities at Compass.
The submission materials and fees must be received by Dec. 2. The submission guidelines are available at www.cmacvt.org or via [email protected].
