Ignite Studio Seeks Submissions for Juried Group Exhibit “Synesthesia”

Deadline: 09/25/2024

Ignite Studio at the Hamilton East Public Library in Fishers seeks submissions for “Synesthesia”, our upcoming juried exhibition. We are seeking art in a variety of mediums for this juried group exhibit with cash awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

ABOUT “Synesthesia”:

Synesthesia is a rare condition which causes a person to experience more than one sense simultaneously. People with “sound-color” synesthesia see specific colors when they hear certain sounds or music. Sounds appear like colors in the mind. Abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky was thought to have sound-color synesthesia and described his experience with this condition as being so powerful that it drove him to abandon his law career to be an artist.In celebration of this phenomenon, we are looking for pieces that relate to color, sound, or both. Do you love color? Have you ever felt influenced by sounds or music when creating artwork? Do you frequently receive attention for your use of bright hues in your work? Do your pieces appear rhythmic or musical in nature?

GUEST JUROR FOR SHOW:

This show will be juried by local artist Shaun’te Lewis, an artist, illustrator, and designer based in the heart of Indianapolis known for her strong use of color. With a passion for infusing life with inspiration, boldness and vibrancy, her work is a celebration of the extraordinary found in the everyday. Her portfolio boasts an impressive array of collaborations with renowned brands such as Visit Indy, West Elm, Meijer, Makers Mark, Jordan Brand, Pacers, Hoosier Lottery, Jiffy Lube, and many more. Featured in esteemed publications like the New York Times and Complex Magazine, her work has garnered recognition on a global scale. Yet, at its core, it remains a source of joy, creativity, and inspiration.

Ignite Studio wants to see your vibrant work for “Synesthesia”.
