Assembly Required: Call For Entries
Assembly Required – A member group exhibition examining artistic collaborations.
DESCRIPTION
For its 2025 Members Exhibition, Assembly Required, the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) invites visual artists, writers, musicians, performers, and others to embrace what is possible through dialogue and exchange, through listening and being heard. This is a time to break out of our silos and blur our boundaries in the spirit of collaboration, understanding, and a greater whole.
DVAA invites participants to submit existing collaborative artworks or to create new collaborative artworks for the exhibition. Collaborations may feature large groups, one-time duos, as well as any and every combination of mediums and disciplines.
- If you are an artist without a collaborator, we will pair you with another soloist
- Only one artist from a collaboration should submit on behalf of their group
- Artworks may be pre-existing or proposed to be created in the gallery
Possible collaborations may include, but are not limited to:
- Ceramicists and dancers
- Painters and musicians
- Poets and photographers
- Videographers and collagists
