Fairfield, CT - Artists are invited to submit one piece of art to the Kershner Gallery in the Fairfield Library for a Community Art Show. The theme is Exploring Nature. All mediums of original art are eligible if they meet the show standards. Wall pieces must not exceed 36 inches in any direction and must be wired for hanging. Sculptures must not exceed 30”w x 30”d x 72”h including a pedestal. Video works must have all equipment supplied by the artist. All work must be appropriate for a public venue.
Entry forms will be available at the gallery and at http://fairfieldpubliclibrary.org/our-community/bruce-s-kershner-gallery/ The fee is $25 and the form, which includes the title, media, size, and price, must be mailed with a check by December 28. Sending an image of the work is optional. See the form for mailing address.
It is advisable to mail the entry form early since there is a limit to the amount of work the gallery can display and once that capacity is reached, later entries may be rejected. After 12/28, every artist who applied will be notified as to acceptance or not.
