In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States, the Bristol Art Museum invites artists from across the country to submit works on paper for our annual national call for art. As part of the town of Bristol's commemorative celebrations, this exhibition will reflect on the enduring words of the Declaration of Independence. Working in any medium on paper or of paper, from drawing, painting, and printmaking to collage, photography, or experimental forms, Bristol Art Museum welcome interpretations that are bold, intimate, reflective, or challenging. Paper, like the documents that have historically recorded our past, serves as both a material and metaphor—a space for declaration, protest, remembrance, and hope.
