Featuring contemporary art in all media that explores or references LIGHT, which is found all around us, around our planet, and throughout art, nature, literature, science, society, and language as a concept and a construct with many different connotations. Without light there is no color and art would not exist. Work was juried by guest juror Matt Porter, Curator at the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta, Georgia.
