Fantastic Mr. Anderson - The Wes Anderson Show

About this event

Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to announce a juried exhibition for the month of December featuring works in response to an open call to the public: FANTASTIC MR. ANDERSON

If you know the films directed by Wes Anderson, then chances are good that you’ve had the pleasingly haunted experience of noticing a ‘Wes Anderson-esque’ scene in real life. His aesthetic is unmistakable…there is a color palette, a mood, a narrative that reminds us of those brief moments when we recognize something remarkable, magical, and perhaps fleeting as special places yield to gentrification, homogenization, and fading history. In December, we invited artists to document a Wes Anderson moment, either by depicting an apt image of a place/portrait/object/feeling and/or by creating fan art relating to Anderson’s filmography. This is an adventure.

We accepted entries of all mediums and styles, as long as they celebrated the zeitgeist of Wes Anderson in an intentional way.
