The National Watch and Clock Museum   /   Deadline: 08/30/13

The National Watch and Clock Museum issue a call for artists for the upcoming exhibition A Matter of Time.

The National Watch and Clock Museum was officially opened to the public in 1977 with fewer than 1,000 items. Since that time, the collection has increased to over 12,000 items. Today, the museum is recognized as the largest and most comprehensive horological collection in North America.

This exhibit invites artists to respond to the concept of timekeeping and how it is represented today. Artists are encouraged to visit the museum and www.museumoftime.org for more information. Special consideration will be given to those works that are functional timekeepers as well.

So how do you as an artist respond to the concept of timekeeping?
