River Arts in Damariscotta invites artists to submit items for the upcoming show, “Night and Day.”
Submissions, open to members and non-members alike, include all mediums and styles. People can embrace abstract concepts, explore the emotional contrasts within human experiences or challenge traditional notions of light and dark. Or they may wish to focus on either day or night in the singular, according to a news release from Heather Greene at River Arts.
Artists may submit one piece with a maximum size of 48 inches in any direction (including frame), or they may submit two pieces no larger than 24 inches in any direction (including frame). The member entry fee is $15 and nonmember fee is $30.
The deadline for entry is 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24. Notification of accepted works will be published at riverartsme.org on Wednesday, Feb. 28. For more information, visit that website or call the gallery at 207-563-6868.
