Westbury Arts is inviting artists working in 2D and 3D media to submit to a curated, thematic group exhibition dedicated to artworks inspired by SHOES. The exhibit, entitled “Below the Knee” , will focus on footwear in all its amazingly varied shapes and forms. New, original work created for this exhibit as well as pre-existing original work will be considered.

Accepted works will be exhibited in the display windows of The Bootery, a fine leather footwear and repair shop located on Post Avenue in Westbury, NY. This is a busy shop with a great carriage trade. In addition, the windows will be visible to the considerable traffic that passes daily on Post Avenue. The Westbury Arts exhibit will result in a fresh look for this store that only artists can provide.
