Artists sought for WC judged show
Artists in Southwest Ohio are being sought for a judged art show in collaboration with this year’s Westheimer Peace Symposium at Wilmington College.
The show is to encourage artists to use their preferred media to consider their relationship with the natural world around them: Have you ever been awed by the beauty of a mountain or ocean? Have you ever been excited to see a wild animal in its natural habitat? Have you ever stopped to admire a lovely flower or tree? How are you connected to the natural world? How can you protect the environment?
Artwork will be on display in the Wilmington College Harcum Art Gallery Oct. 13-23 with an opening reception and awards presentation at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 13.
• Entries must be delivered to the Harcum Art Gallery in the Boyd Cultural Arts Center between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10.
• Each entry must be labeled with the artist’s name and home town.
• Each entry must be accompanied by a short (one paragraph) artist’s statement regarding the work.
• Two-dimensional and three-dimensional pieces will be accepted: drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, textiles, collages, or sculptures.
• Two-dimensional pieces must be matted, wired, and ready to hang.
