Giving Art a Voice Exhibition
Open Call for Art

Exhibition dates: June 25 – July 18, 2020
Drop-off by appointment: Wednesday, June 17 – Sunday, June 21   |   1-5pm
Registration Deadline: June 16
 
Everyone is invited to exhibit the piece of art that you will submit to our online slideshow and it will be displayed in our gallery next to the message that you write. The short message that you write (under 50 words) is just as important as the images that will be displayed. The goal of this exhibit is to communicate, inspire, and soothe during these unprecedented times. Tell us how you, and your piece, express what you are feeling. We believe this exhibit will be special. It will give viewers a better understanding of how we collectively feel by offering all different perspectives of the pandemic. 
 
To exhibit your artwork in our gallery, you must be part of our online slideshow first.
There are two steps: 
 1.) Fill out this form. 
 2.) Email us a .jpg of your artwork. File sizes must be 400K or above. The higher the resolution, the better. Write "Giving Art" in the subject line.
 
Once you submitted to our online slideshow, you’ll receive an email from us with further instructions that include the procedure for making an appointment to drop off your artwork during our office hours June 17 – 21 from 1-5pm. Please keep us all safe by wearing a mask and following all social distancing guidelines.
 
As an arts nonprofit, our commitment is to serve our community by providing a place for creative expression. This is a difficult time for all of us. In the spirit of supporting our organization, we do ask for an entry donation of whatever feels comfortable for you. You’ll be able to donate at drop-off or you can donate here.

All work must be wired and ready for hanging. 
No size limit. 
Artists retain 70% of the sales price. You can also label NFS.

If you would like to be in our online slideshow without exhibiting your work in our gallery, that’s ok too. Just fill out this form and we’ll add you to it.
