WATER - SUNY Ulster

WATER
Essential, sensual, deep, wet, political,
powerful, destructive, metaphorical…
WATER: Possibly our most valuable & precious
natural resource, it is a source of life, death,
pleasure, and profit. It is a vital fluid, an elusive
element, beautiful to touch, look at and drink.
We invite regional artists to submit artwork inspired,
created, or conceptually driven by the multifaceted
and timely subject of water…
