Historical Society calls for artist submissions

SHARON — The Sharon Historical Society & Museum is seeking entries for its upcoming show in Gallery SHS, “Depicting our Town”, a juried in-person exhibition and sale from Jan. 22-March 4.

Gallery SHS invites artists to submit original works in any medium — oil, acrylic, watercolor, photography, pastel, ink, graphite, drawing, print, mixed media, sculpture, assemblage, fabric, stone, clay, metal, audiovisual. Works should be from the last two years. The exhibit’s judge is to be announced.

“For many of us the last two years have been about a renewed commitment to home and community. This show invites you to share that commitment by submitting works depicting your home or community, whether it be landscapes of the area, the people who make up your community, or an expression of what it all means to you,” according to the society.

Artists pay a non-refundable entry fee of $25 for up to two works of art, $10 for each additional submission. The show’s judge will select the art to be exhibited and award cash prizes of $100, $75, and $50 to three pieces.

In addition, guests who view the exhibition in person will have the opportunity to select their favorite work of art, which will receive the “SHS Crowd Pleaser” award.

Submissions must be deliveredbetween 9-11 a.m. Jan. 15. Artists should provide high quality images of their artwork at that time, especially if it is behind glass, so that they may be posted to the Gallery SHS webpage.

The Prospectus, Entry Forms and detailed Terms and Conditions are available on the Art Gallery page of the Sharon Historical Society & Museum’s web site (select the Gallery SHS menu at sharonhist.org), or can be picked up at the SHS during regular hours.
