Open call for artists: non-Juried annual Theme Art Show

The East End Arts Gallery is pleased to announce an open call for artist participation in the upcoming non-juried, all media Annual Members’ Show scheduled to open with a reception on Friday, January 23, 2015, from 5 PM to 7 PM. The theme of the show is squares, and the show is open to all artists. This is a guaranteed opportunity to participate in a group show, with the only requirement being that all artists must be or become a member of East End Arts. The show will run from the opening on January 23 through March 6, 2015. The East End Arts Gallery is located at 133 East Main Street in Riverhead, NY.

Artists may submit one work of art in any genre, of any subject, in any style, created with any medium, as long as it is square! Works can have a maximum dimension of 14 inches wide and 14 inches high, including frame. Sculpture needs to include at least one square element as part of its design. East End Arts Gallery Director Jane Kirkwood says: “If you have not yet seen an exhibit where all the featured art is in a square format, prepare to be delightfully surprised by the look of this upcoming installation.” East End Arts is accepting original works in all media, one entry per artist. All wall art must be wired for hanging. Poets may enter one poem framed and wired for hanging, frame not exceeding 14 inches wide. Artists are encouraged to enter their work for guaranteed participation in this non-juried show; the only requirement is that artists become a member of East End Arts before or at the time of drop-off.
