The Seven Deadly Sins (and the Seven Holy Virtues) January 10 - February 25, 2012 The Seven Deadly Sins and their counterpart the Seven Holy Virtues have been explored by artists since the early 14th century, perhaps most famously by the 16th century Dutch painter, Hieronymous Bosch. The modern list of sins dates back to Pope Gregory, with their infamy fanned by the poet Dante in his epic ‘Divine Comedy’: luxuria (lust/extravagance); gula (gluttony); avaritia (avarice/greed); acedia (sloth/discouragement); ira (wrath); invidia (envy); and superbia (pride/vanity). But they are balanced in the world by the Holy Virtues of humility, charity, kindness, patience, chastity, temperance, and diligence. For this juried show, artists are invited to delve into the worlds of sin or virtue, take them to the beach, hang out with them in the supermarket aisles, invite them to a bar, or simply see how they behave under a paintbrush, from behind a camera lens or emerging out of a lump of clay. Work is invited in all mediums. All work must be for sale and have been completed in the last two years. This show is open to CAL members and non-members. All work must be WIRED – we cannot hang work that does not have a wire. Artists should also make sure that their names are on the work. Artists may submit two works for consideration. Jury fees (per person, not per work) are $15 for members and $25 for non-members.
