Open to all media, this topical exhibition encourages the artist to “get on their soapbox” and speak to the issues that impact and influence them. The aim of Soapbox is to present a visual discussion on a broad range of topics, including politics, medicine, morality, religion, societal issues, and causes. Soapbox will assemble a chorus of voices and viewpoints in Gallery I & II from September 30 – November 11, 2016. All entries are due by Monday, August 8, 2016. Soapbox will open on Friday, September 30 with an opening reception from 6:00pm – 8:00pm. A gallery talk will be given prior to the reception at 5:30pm. Three awards will be given at the opening reception, two $200 juror’s choice awards and a $500 or Going Solo exhibition juror’s choice award. Calls for entry are available online at foundryartcentre.org or at the Foundry Art Centre, located at 520 North Main Center in St. Charles, Missouri.
