The East End Arts Gallery is now accepting artist entries for their upcoming third annual national juried art competition and exhibit; this year themed The Creative Process. Guest jurors for this competition are Gerald Peters, Owner of the Gerald Peters Gallery in New York, NY and Sante Fe, NM; and Peter J. Marcelle, Director of the Gerald Peters Gallery in New York City, and Owner of the Peter Marcelle Gallery in Bridgehampton, NY. Entries selected by the jurors will be included in the The Creative Process show, scheduled to run from August 8 through September 24, 2014 at the East End Arts’ Gallery, located at 133 East Main Street in Riverhead, NY.

“Your creative process is what makes your style unique. As an option for this show you may choose to leave part of your piece unfinished to give a peek into your personal artistic process, a hint of how your work evolves. This is not mandatory,” explains East End Arts Gallery Director Jane Kirkwood. 

The ‘Best in Show’ award winner will receive a seven-day stay in East End Arts’ Artist Residence near Hamptons’ Museums and Galleries, plus $1,000 cash, and inclusion in a group show at The Peter Marcelle Project, art gallery in Southampton NY. The winner will also receive 100 postcards announcing the The Creative Process Show, which will feature the image of her/his artwork.

The East End Arts Gallery is now accepting entries online, which must be submitted by April 8, 2014 or by the late entry deadline of April 15, 2014 for an additional fee. Artists may enter up to five works for $45. Entries are open to any two-dimensional media, including painting, drawing, original fine art prints, photography, and computer art. Original work only, no reproductions. No ‘appropriated’ elements, unless original artist is credited in the title of the piece. Artists will be notified of the jurors’ decisions of inclusion in the show on or before June 4, 2014. If accepted, artists must ship the selected artwork per East End Arts’ outlined shipping instructions, available on the web; failure to do so will prevent inclusion in the show.
