Scroll Inspired Art – Call for Entries

This exhibition caught our eye as being engaging to a large audience, yet connecting to the scroll format which the Jewish people have held on to, true and true, with the holy Torah text, for millenia.

…About Scroll Bowl:Harnessing the ancient power of scroll storytelling, some of the world’s finest creators gather to show off their work on large and small rolls of parchment. We seek traditional
scrolls or modern interpretations of scrolls and/or artwork that comments on the idea of scrolls or
utilize the elements of scrolls in some way. This can include anything from actual paper scrolls to scrolling on a computer or video work. There are many different ways to approach art on scrolls and we ask artists to push those limits – linear storytelling to abstract ideas. Larger format works are shown on our huge “Scrollie Viewer (seen in the youtube videos)” but we also appreciate smaller format or long scrolls that hang on the wall. Solo, group collaborations, video or performance pieces are acceptable. Artists in any location are welcome to submit.
Although we cannot fund anyone’s travel expenses we will be happy to present your scroll for you.
