Prospectus

When Art Takes Flight explores the concept of flight in its broadest interpretations—literal, metaphorical, mechanical, and spiritual.

We are seeking artwork that captures the essence of lifting off, breaking barriers, soaring heights, avian life, aerospace innovation, or the conceptual freedom of the human mind taking flight.
