Artreach Call For Artists: "Truth or Dare"

Artreach, a project of the Shunpike, is seeking artists for its new show Truth or Dare.

ABOUT ARTREACH
Artreach is a non-profit arts organization that aims to increase demand for art among young professionals in King County by promoting approachable art. What is approachable art?

• High quality original art that fits in the budget. High quality art doesn't always mean oil painting on large canvas. It can also mean a small study, a sketch of a future painting, or a photograph taken on vacation
• Art showcased in a way that helps viewers appreciate it. The story behind an art piece helps establish a personal connection between the viewer and the artist.
• Art presented in a social party atmosphere that removes the barriers between the viewer and the art.
• Art that can be easily set up at home.
