eMotion Pictures: An Exhibition of Orthopaedics in Art is now open to both orthopaedic patients (of all ages) and orthopaedic surgeons, and is a component of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons’ (AAOS) 75th Anniversary Celebration.
Orthopaedic patients include any person who presently have, or have had, an orthopaedic condition. An orthopaedic condition can be either a disease or condition that affects muscles, bones and/or joints. Arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoporosis, scoliosis, spinal cord injury or other spine/back conditions, cerebral palsy, amputation, spina bifida, broken bones and joint replacement are some examples of orthopaedic conditions.
An online entry form must be submitted by artists who wish to participate in the competition. Submitted artwork may be featured in the AAOS’ 75th Anniversary traveling exhibit, film, coffee table book, Web site, online museum and/or be on display at the 75th Anniversary celebration in San Francisco, March 2008.
The artwork must illustrate (though it need not be figurative or representational) one or both of the following:
1. Some aspect of the artist’s feeling toward, or relationship with, this orthopaedic condition; for example, healing, rehabilitation, anger, self-image, mobility, frustration, strength, pain, weakness, movement, hope, wellness, freedom or independence.
2. The history of orthopaedics – then and now, how treatment options have changed, services, care, procedures, has a condition affected several generations of your family, etc.
Artists may submit up to 10 works of art in the following mediums: Paintings and drawings (oil, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, etc.), fine art prints (lithographs, etching, intaglio, wood cuts, etc.), giclees (Iris prints), photography, graphics, cyber art, sculpture, ceramics, glass, mosaics, textiles, crafts, functional art and other mixed media.
