A Small Point of Land Prospectus

Media Accepted: The only restriction is BAM cannot accept video or time-based work at this time.
Theme and Exhibition Notes:
Geographically, Rhode Island can be described as land surrounded by, and adjacent to various waterways and the Atlantic Ocean. Water and land are integral to the state's cultural identity and in particular to the East Bay area. Thematically, the exhibit and its title are derived from the word Narragansett, translated from indigenous language as "a small point of land." The offshore breezes, smell of salt air, encounters with the many creatures dependent on a shoreline habitat all influence and inspire RI artists. 
With geography as the exhibition's point of commonality, artists are asked to submit work exploring their relationship to place. 
 
The following are some interpretations of this theme:

• The complex or nuanced ways in which a sense of place might be a factor when forming identity.
• How place can manifest spiritual experience.
• The psychological relationship an artist might have with the Bay or the exploration of concepts related to boundaries.
• Considerations regarding the forgotten people of the past tying together with the present and future.
