Wilton Library’s Summer Show Call for Entries June 28 & 29

Wilton, CT – This is the time of year when Wilton Library celebrates local artists who live, work or have some connection to Wilton for its Summer Show art exhibition. The Call for Entries is set for Friday and Saturday, June 28 and 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for this non-juried exhibition. This is the 75th year that the library will be welcoming local talent to display their works during the summer.

Adult artists who wish to exhibit in the art show may bring no more than two pieces on Friday or Saturday. Submissions may be paintings, pastels, drawings and sculptures. Photography is not accepted for this exhibition since photographers are able to enter their works in the annual Focus show organized by the Wilton Arts Council and held at the library each March (www.wiltonarts.org). With the exception of sculptures, all works must be framed and wired, and artists must take away their packing materials.

Ed MacEwen, the library’s art chair remarked about the Summer Show, “This is such a fun time of year because we get to see what our friends and neighbors have been working on during the long, cold summer months. There is so much talent in this town and it’s great to see it in one place at one time, including the new talent that just moved in.”

The exhibition runs from July 5 through Aug. 29. The opening reception for the Summer Show is on Friday, July 12, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The reception is free and is open to everyone. Participating artists are encouraged to bring their friends and families to the reception.

For details and entry forms, interested artists may visit the library’s website at www.wiltonlibrary.org or stop by the Circulation Desk. Any inquiries may be directed to Janet Crystal at jcrystal@wiltonlibrary.org; 203-762-6324.

The majority of the works will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the library. The media sponsor for the art exhibition is The Wilton Bulletin.

The library is located at 137 Old Ridgefield Road in the heart of Wilton Center. The library’s hours are Mondays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed on Sundays from June 23 through Sept. 1.
