Confinement
One Read Art Exhibit
Orr Street Studios (106 Orr Street, Columbia and orrstreetstudios.com)

“I suppose a room is the summation of all that has happened inside it”

~ Amor Towles, “A Gentleman in Moscow”

Inspired by this year’s One Read book “A Gentleman in Moscow” we invite Mid-Missouri artists ages 16 and older to contribute works that explore the experiences of isolation and confinement. 

Cash prizes will be awarded for three winners, sponsored by Columbia’s Office of Cultural Affairs. The third place winner will receive $50, second place $75 and first place $125 plus a one-year membership to the Columbia Art League.

The exhibit will take place September 5-26 and will be viewed virtually at www.orrstreetstudios.com
