THE TITANIC SHOW!  ALL YEAR JURIED STUDENT EXHIBITION

 CALL FOR ENTRIES

 Grenfell Campus Art Gallery invites visual arts students of all years to submit work responding to the following brief:

 On April 10, 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. It sank on 15 April 1912 after striking an iceberg some 400 miles southeast of the Grand Banks. 1,517 people died making this one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history. This April marks the 100^th anniversary of the sinking. Grenfell Campus will be hosting a conference about the Titanic in March.

 The story of the construction, sailing, sinking and subsequent discovery of the ship, Titanic, provides a number of jumping off points as inspiration for artwork including:
Class and living/ working conditions (for example, 97% of women sailing in first class were saved; 46% in third class. Shipbuilders at Harland and Wolff)
Maritime Imagery
Engineering & Design
Landscape
Communications
Hubris
Personal Stories (e.g., The  Unsinkable Molly Brown)
