The producers of the Vermont opera A Fleeting Animal invite visual artists and poets to submit work for a multi-venue exhibit that will overlap with September 2015 performances in six Vermont towns. Juried works should expand on themes in the staged production, such as the hardships and joys of rural living; love and loss; distrust of racial and other differences; and the experience of returning veterans, their families and communities. We are searching for work that reflects the duality between despair and hope, loss and recovery. Info: [email protected] or afleetinganimal.com. Deadline: July 15.
