The Pop Art movement challenged traditional fine art values and brought art based on popular culture and everyday items into the mainstream. Gallery Underground announces a call to artists for a juried art exhibition seeking interpretation of the theme “Magic of the Ordinary.” It is typical of the ordinary and everyday to be overlooked, as it can be seen as commonplace or dull. However, magic can be found in the ordinary when it is interpreted as art. Artists are invited to look beyond and turn the ordinary into extraordinary.
