DAMARISCOTTA — River Arts invites artists to submit original work for the next juried show, Artist’s Choice. The deadline for submission is 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24. Nancy Glassman will be the show’s juror, according to a news release from the gallery.

Working in oil and in watercolor, Glassman is known mainly for her on-site landscapes and still-life paintings. Her paintings take notice of the moment, as a practice of reverence, connection and wake-up call.

Originally hailing from South Portland, Glassman has lived in Searsmont since 1981. She received her education in studio arts from Sarah Lawrence College and the University of Pennsylvania. She has taught art and participated in shows throughout the state. She has been represented by Caldbeck Gallery in Rockland since 1982.

Submission for the show is open to original artwork in all media including but not limited to painting, sculpture, fiber, photography and mixed media. This open call invites the artists to submit work of their own selection and may be representational or abstract.
