Artists are invited to submit works to Changing Perspectives in which they may interpret the theme in several ways: literal interpretations such as works representing unusual, off-kilter or innovative perspective as seen by the viewer; pieces in which artists change their own standard use of perspective in their work; or figurative interpretations where artists step out of their comfort zones and change the aesthetics of their typical artistic methods or subjects. Entrants will be asked to submit a paragraph indicating how their work fits the theme.
