The Human Canvas
http://www.c4fap.org/cfe/2009humancanvas/canvas.asp

 The Human Canvas seeks to explore the many ways in which the body can be an integral component of art.

It can be as simple and elegant as the unadorned figure, or any of the almost limitless uses of the body as a canvas on which art is presented, or incorporated, including creations using fabric and textiles, body modifications,  tattoos, and much more.

 The exhibition is open to all domestic and international, professional and amateur photographers working with digital or traditional photography or combinations of both.
