Prospectus:

The old time side show - freaks, barkers, hoochie-kootchie girls, geeks, snake oil salesmen and amazing physical feats. No traveling carnival was complete without one. Their colourful banners and fast talking pitchmen who reeled off even more colourful descriptions, enticed you to part with your money and step inside the tents to confront the exotic and mysterious, the horrifying and terrible and the amazing but true.

Recreating the heyday of the world of the sideshow is what this show is all about. Bring to life an element of our culture that, even though all but gone, still fascinates. Feel free to explore this theme in any manner you that most pleases you.

A statement detailing the materials, process, and the impetus that went into the creation of each piece entered is required,/i>. It increases understanding of your work and significantly enhances the experience for the viewer. If a piece contains fine detail or is 3 dimensional, detail shots are strongly encouraged.
