Whatcom Art Guild: Out the Window

𝐀𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞: 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰

During quarantine, we had to simplify our lives to be more home-centered. Looking out our windows became a substitute for participating in the events that made up the fabric of our everyday lives — from attending art shows and public events, to eating dinner out and traveling to new destinations. What have you been doing as we all look “Out the Window”?

No matter what you may dream up, we hope you will share what has been important to you during these last few months by including a short narrative to accompany an artwork of yours that is relevant to the challenge.

Whatcom County community organizations are inviting local residents to submit their personal COVID-19 stories by launching the county-wide project, Peoples’ Perspectives: COVID-19 in Whatcom County. The goal is to preserve and share the experiences of those within our community by connecting us during this historic time.

WAG intends to answer their request by forwarding them some of our members’ artwork. If your work is selected, we will contact you for permission to share your story prior to submission to the Peoples’ Perspectives project.
