This is a juried exhibit, selected by arts professionals familiar with regional art work.  Painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography and mixed media are welcome.  Artists may submit up to two recent works made in the last two years.  

SUBMISSION PROCESS: All work will be juried online in 2014, and therefore all submissions must be made online via “EntryThingy”, beginning with the form on this page.  We are unable to accept physical submissions for the jury process this year.  Thank you for understanding.  The submission format is very user-friendly, but consider asking a friend or fellow artist for help if the online submission process seems daunting.  EntryThingy also offers helpful FAQ resources to support artists through the process.

ENTRY FEE FOR up to TWO WORKS:  $5 for LAC members, $10 for non-members

Artists will be notified of entry status via email by Friday, May 2nd.

Drop-off for pieces included in the exhibit will be Fri. May 9th, 11am-4pm and Sat. May 10th, 10am – 12 noon.

 

SELECTIONS EXHIBIT
Artists are encouraged to also compete for the Library Arts Center Regional Selections Exhibit when entering the Juried Regional.  While choosing work for the Juried Regional, jurors are also asked to select 6 – 7 artists who they feel present the strongest work (from those who choose to compete).  These selected artists are awarded the opportunity to display a larger body of their work in the Library Arts Center Selections Exhibit in February/March of 2015.

Instructions to Compete for Selections: Artists who choose to compete for Selections should click the link to the Selections Call for Entries from this page once logged in to EntryThingy, and will be asked to provide 6-8 examples of their work as well as bio & artist statement.  There is no additional fee to compete for Selections, however artists MUST submit entries to the Juried Regional in order to be considered for Selections. 

As Selections Winners will be displaying a body of work of 5-10 pieces in the Selections Exhibit, those competing for Selections should make sure that their 6 – 8 images read as a body of work clearly connected by theme, style, and/or content.

*New LAC Policy:  This year’s Selections winners are welcome to enter the Juried Regional, but are asked to wait one year before competing for Selections again.
