ZOZOBRA News:
SANTA FE — Before we know it, Zozobra will make his dramatic return to New Mexico so it’s time to break out those markers and paintbrushes! Santa Fe’s biggest egotist wants you to make him even more infamous!
As the date draws ever-closer to Zozobra’s annual date with his immortal foe the Fire Spirit, the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe is seeking submissions of Zozobra-themed artwork for the Annual Zozobra Art Exhibit, on display during ZozoFest Friday, Aug. 26 to Sunday, Aug. 28, at Santa Fe Place Mall.
Paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, jewelry, digital art, ceramics, beads, tile, fabric –– there’s no limit on the medium.
Artwork in the ZozoFest Art Show must be primarily of Zozobra, but other characters from the Zozobra tradition, including the Fire Spirit, Gloomies and Torchbearers also are welcome. Images inspired by or representing Will Shuster or Los Cincos Pintores will be considered.
This year celebrates the 90s boyband, grunge era as part of the ongoing Zozobra Decades Project, and artwork that honors the unique style, design and colors of the 90’s is encouraged. Discover inspiration here: 1990’s ideas colors and themes!
