CALL FOR AREA ARTISTS
LOCAL ARTISTS INVITED TO SHOW IN BLYTH
The Blyth Festival Art Gallery is
looking for art hobbyists, amateur crafters, professional artisans or
recognized visual artists. This is a great opportunity for artists from Huron
County to get exposure to local audience or maybe even have a career
breakthrough.
Area residents are invited to
submit one or two pieces in any media for the Gallery’s 2012 Community Show.
This is an annual, non-juried exhibition and features the creations of dozens
of Huron County’s professional and hobby artists. The work will be accepted on
the morning of Saturday, May 19th, and the show opens the same evening in the
Bainton Gallery, situated in the Blyth Memorial Hall beside the Festival box
office. The exhibition runs until June 15th. Included among the
pieces on exhibit will be a wide range of media, from oil paintings and
acrylics to photography, ceramics, and glass. Not even the show curator is ever
sure what exactly will be shown until the artists bring in their creations on
Saturday morning.
Artists are asked to bring their works to the
gallery between 9:00 am and 12:00 noon. Two-dimensional pieces must be framed
or mounted suitable for hanging and not exceed 36” x 36”. Free sanding
sculptures must be no wider than 36”. A nominal fee of $10.00 per piece is
charged, and the work will be included in the exhibition. Parties interested in
buying a work of art will be directed to the artist and no commission will be
charged. All art must remain in the gallery for the complete length of the show
and must be picked up on June 16th.
Members of the public are invited
to meet the artists and join in the festivities with family and friends at the
official Opening Reception on Saturday, May 19th at 6:00 pm. Refreshments will
be served. The Bainton Gallery is open during Blyth Festival box office
business hours. You can view this exciting show until June 15th. For
information and entry forms, please call Carol McDonnell at 519-523-9715 or
