The theme for the 2014 Stamps Alumni Juried Exhibition is Unintended Consequences.
Theme statement: “A teacher becomes the student; anger becomes acceptance; cancer research becomes a cure for baldness; a painting becomes a film. For good or bad, our lives, our work and our art are filled with Unintended Consequences.”
Work will be displayed July 14 — August 2, 2014, during the Ann Arbor Art Fair.
The exhibition opening reception will take place from 6 — 8 PM on July 18 at Slusser Gallery.
