St. Louis Artists’ Guild

Clayton, MO

About the exhibition: For this exhibition the St. Louis Artists’ Guild 
seeks artwork that detects the structure of the physical world both seen 
and unseen, imagined and observed. We are fascinated in how nature 
repeats itself with a diversity of forms from the micro to the macro. 
How do you capture this phenomena? This is an all-media exhibition 
looking for works of both abstraction and realism. We are particularly 
interested in how artists’ capture form from a well-timed photograph, to 
the manipulation of paint, drawing media, fabric and clay, or a mixture 
of all of them.
