THE SQUARE FOOT SHOW with the theme ELECTION 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 25th | 3pm - 8pm
Works on view until Sunday, November 9th

Politics and art? As impossible a mix as oil and water? Not necessarily. Has there ever been a more powerful anti-war message than Picasso’s Guernica? The last year has shown that Americans want to engage in politics again. We do care what happens here and abroad. To celebrate the excitement now bubbling as the coming election approaches, Art Gotham chose the timely theme “Election 2008” for its biannual Square Foot Show, which opens Saturday, October 26th and runs through Sunday, November 9th. Artists were provided with 12x12 inch canvases, and asked to think politically as they create works for the show. Nothing like a tough assignment for producing amazing results.

Registration days for The Square Foot Show are Saturday, September 20th & Sunday, September 21st from 1pm – 5pm at Art Gotham. To receive more participation and registration information, please email artgotham@gmail.com.
Artwork Drop-Off Date: Thursday, October 24th 2pm – 8pm
