Post Now PA - Thinking Big


Thank you everyone for coming and making the show a huge success!!! Thinking Big is an enlarged art exhibit for a growing world. Just as the world grows, artists do the same. Thinking Big is a fine arts exhibit which provides a chance to allow artists to display just how their artwork has grown. Thinking Big is a fine arts exhibit with the theme or idea of thinking big or expanding beyond normal horizons. There are three sources that inspire this title. First is the location, a large warehouse located in downtown Shippensburg. Second is the surge of growth central Pennsylvania is experiencing. Third thinking big is what artists do best! Thinking Big will give artists a chance to show just how big they can think. We invite any and all forms of big thinking artists can envision. Interested participants who have large scale sculpture, installation, video, painting, and other over-sized media should apply A.S.A.P. as we have large but limited space. However, any sized media will be considered with the theme 'Thinking Big' in mind.
