The Lexington (KY) Art League seeks entries for "Alternate Selves," an exhibition that explores the transformative power of costume. Through theater, annual holiday celebrations (such as Halloween and Mardi Gras), and even contemporary drag shows, costumes have allowed the wearer to reveal a new identity or at times hide from their own. Artists creating wearable items or those using costume, disguise, masks, adornment, etc. as primary thematic elements in their work may apply.  Artists are encouraged to creatively interpret the theme. There are no limitations on media -- 2-D, 3-D, and time-based entries will be considered.

Entry form available at http://www.lexingtonartleague.org/documents/LAL_Entry_AlternateSelves.pdf. Email entry form, jpeg submissions and artist statement to balley@lexingtonartleague.org. Subject: "Alternate Selves Entry". Video submissions must be submitted by mail (with entry form and statement) to:
