OPENING RECEPTION
Join us on Wednesday, June 21 from 5 – 7 pm.
CATEGORY 1
Artisans are invited to enter a summer-themed exhibit called Inspiration! We are looking for works of art that inspire you as an artist. Artworks must be accompanied by a statement about why or how this work inspires you.
A few examples:
- A painting/portrait of someone who inspired you.
- A sculpture that you were inspired to create after traveling.
- A drawing that inspired you to create a series of works.
Artists may enter ONE work of art for $15 ($10 for members) and must include a written statement.
The number of works accepted will be based on the gallery room available. Monetary prizes will be given for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place.
Artwork drop off will take place:
• Friday, June 2 from 12 pm – 8 pm
• Saturday, June 3 from 10 am – 1 pm
