The Reality Show
In a time when reality television, social media, and spam emails can shape our perceptions of everyday life, how do we know what’s real?
This spring, Paint Creek Center for the Arts invites you to tune in to The Reality Show. Whether you’re capturing your own reality through life’s simple pleasures, struggles, and monotonies, interpreting the reality of someone else, or exposing pop culture’s simulated perfection, we invite artists ages 16 and older to submit their artwork showcasing and defining what reality means in the modern world.
Application Deadline: February 2

Artwork Drop-Off: March 3 – 16
