The East End Arts Gallery has announced an open call for artist participation in the upcoming juried, all media art show, “Texture,” at the East End Arts Gallery. An opening reception will be held on March 10 from 5 to 7 p.m., and guests will have an opportunity to meet the artists. This free event is open to the public.
The show will run through April 21 and the guest juror is George Billis, owner of the George Billis Gallery.
“For this competition, artists of all media’s skillful use—or visual illusion—of surface texture will be the strongest consideration in choosing art to be included in the exhibit,” East End Arts Gallery Director Jane Kirkwood said.
Original works in all media can be submitted including painting, drawing, photography, mixed media and sculpture. Up to three entries can be submitted per artist.
All media entries must be dropped off in person at the East End Arts Gallery between Thursday, March 2 and Saturday, March 4. For complete details including size restrictions and entry fees, view the prospectus at eastendartsorg.
The guest juror will review all submissions and choose a select number of works that he feels best represent the theme. Selected pieces will be included in the exhibit. The “Best in Show” winner of this show will be one of several artists who will participate in the East End Arts Gallery’s Winners’ Show in the Fall of 2018. First, second, third place, and honorable mentions will also be awarded.
East End Arts Gallery is located at 133 East Main Street in Riverhead. For more information, contact Ms. Kirkwood at (631) 727-0900 or gallery@eastendarts.org.
