Introduction

The 57 Nomads is offering a unique experience for local and regional artists who are currently or formerly connected with the SIU or Carbondale Community to display their original works of art.  The purpose of the “That House” exhibition is to offer visual artists, writers, musicians and creators of other interdisciplinary artforms the opportunity to share their creative output and exhibit in a public forum among the community, friends and peers.  This is not a juried exhibition, although all submissions will be subject to approval.

Theme

The theme of the exhibition is about houses that intrigue us and scare us a little, make us think of ghosts or poverty and decay or the weirdness of culture.  Have you ever driven by a house and thought, “I wonder what goes on in That House?” Then, maybe you mentioned it to a friend and they said, “Oh, That House! I know exactly which house you’re talking about.” This is about That House.

Your contribution might be based on a childhood memory or more recent experience, a dream, movie or book that has stuck with you. It may be about haunted houses, abandoned houses, lost houses, dollhouses, party houses.  Everyone is encouraged to provide their own interpretation of what “That House” means to them.
