WARMTH OF AUTUMN
SHOW DATES – October 15th – November 12th
RECEPTION DATE- October 15th
"Spring is beautiful, and summer is perfect for vacations, but autumn brings a longing to get away from the unreal things of life, out into the forest at night with a campfire and the rustling leaves."
– Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
We are seeking artists to apply with work that explores “The Warmth of Autumn”. Autumn is the bittersweet end to the heat of summer as we brace for winter’s chill. As we break out the blankets and get the firewood ready it’s important to look around and notice the things that keep us warm. Bonfires and flannels, snuggling up with our family with steaming mugs of cocoa, watching the sunshine filter through a glorious canopy of oranges, yellows, and reds. Autumn is the time to soak up the impermanent beauty that’s around us, before our world becomes cold and dark. We all seek warmth during the fall in a variety of ways, whether it’s camping in the crisp air next to a campfire, or snuggling up with your loved ones on the couch with hot drinks and scary movies. We are inviting artists to share these moments of autumnal warmth with us through their art. Whether 2D or 3D, realistic or just a colorful expression of an idea, we want to warm the walls of our gallery as we make our way through this beautiful season. All mediums are accepted. Work should revolve around the ideas of warmth and the fall season. Reception is free and open to the public. Artists are encouraged to attend. The gallery is located in the beautiful, historic Livestock Exchange Building.
Accepted artists must drop off their work on Friday, October 8th from 1-5 or Saturday October 9th from 11- 3. Artists who are shipping their work must have their work arrive by October 8th. Artists are responsible for shipping their work to the gallery and for return shipping in case their work doesn't sell. Artists are required to put a paid return shipping label with a tracking number inside their shipping box or crate. We will not accept money or stamps for return shipping, please have a paid return shipping label in the box. Please purchase shipping insurance for your artwork. Please do not use packing peanuts.
Artists must pick up unsold work on Saturday, November 13th 11- 3 pm or Monday, November 15th 1- 5 pm. We will be shipping back unsold work on these dates. Keep your tracking number handy to see when your work will be scheduled to arrive back to you after these dates.
