Some of the most interesting things happen after hours, in the dark, when no one is watching. Inspired by this year’s One Read book “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” we invite Mid- Missouri artists ages 16 and older to interpret nocturnal worlds, the freedom of unseen hours and what only becomes visible in darkness. We welcome interpretations that are literal- night landscapes, bioluminescence, the particular quality of darkness- or more abstract, like hidden knowledge, private lives or the parts of ourselves we keep out of sight.
Three winners will receive cash prices sponsored by Columbia’s Office of Cultural Affairs. The third place winner will receive $50, second place $75 and first place $125.
