CLOUDS 3 EXHIBITION CALL OUT
ABOUT
​
NAS invites artists to submit work to be considered for ‘Clouds 3’ - the third annual group exhibition of cloud-inspired artworks by emerging and established artists.
​
In art, clouds have been used to represent everything from uncertainty to hope, from other-worldly and ethereal qualities to grounded moods and emotions. Artists have extolled the beauty of clouds in their work, using them to herald the arrival of celestial beings and gods, to darken skies and feelings, to represent wishes and hopes.
​
Clouds streak and wash the sky like an artist’s palette, creating unique patterns every day, each cloud a never-to-be-repeated artwork for those lucky enough to witness such miracles. Clouds are playful too, for children and adults alike. Who hasn’t tried to see figures and shapes in clouds?
​
Raising our eyes to the clouds – whether in appreciation, contemplation, silent prayer, to dream, to wish for escape, or simply in awe of nature and its beauty – is not new. But it is a privilege that plays out differently in each moment, for each witness.
