Call for Artists: RED! Vibrance, Passion & Beauty Feb. 2-24, 2019
CALL FOR ENTRIES The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit artworks for consideration for “RED! Vibrance, Passion & Beauty,” a Juried Competition and Exhibition. A color of nuances and contradictions, RED, in all its hues, always stands out and makes us take notice. Pink carnations, a red barn, the red velvet box of Valentine’s chocolates, a red hot flame, the scarlet of an autumn leaf, or a red pair of shoes all evoke a spectrum of emotions and ideas. Show us your passion for the vibrant beauty of RED in “Heart Month”!
CRITERIA All styles from abstract to realism are welcome. All works must be original, and have been created in the last five years. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from January 27 – February 24, 2019. DEADLINE: FRIDAY, January 11.
MEDIUMS Including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, mixed media, collage, encaustic, etching/prints, or sculpture with pedestal. (NO COPIES, PHOTOGRAPHY, DIGITAL MANIPULATIONS, REPRODUCTIONS OR GICLEES.)
JUROR Patti Mollica believes that truly great painting is not about the “subject matter,” but rather the way an artist communicates beauty, sensitivity and integrity in whatever is painted. Flowers, gardens and sunsets are no more worthy as painting subjects than a subway station full of weary commuters, or a closeup of an old rundown building with cascading fire escapes. Patti is has authored several books, Modern Acrylics, Color Theory and Getting Started in Acrylics, available in art stores worldwide and online at Amazon.com. For more about Patti, please visit her website: mollicastudio.com

Going Green: Celebrate the Earth!
March 31 – April 29
The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit digital images of their 2D or 3D art works for consideration for its Going Green: Celebrate the Earth Exhibition and Competition.
Join us in honoring our late member, Myra Fox as we celebrate Earth Day. A committed environmentalist and chair of the original “Going Green” exhibit, Myra was happiest when her hands were dirty – either with paint or from her gardening work. We invite artists to repurpose, recycle or create new artwork to celebrate the beauty of the world around us and honor the spirit of Myra, who was so committed to healing our earth.
All work must be original. Celebrate the beauty of our planet. Raise public awareness. Show us your green ideas by using traditional media and/or old things in new ways. Recycle, Reuse and Renew. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from March 25 – April 29.
MEDIUM
Any medium, including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, drawings, mixed media, collage or sculpture with pedestal. (NO COPIES, REPRODUCTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHY OR GICLEES PLEASE)
JUROR
Martha Tarlow, Owner of the Roslyn Village Gallery. Marsha Tarlow was born in Manhattan and grew up on the lower East Side where her parents encouraged an appreciation of the arts and nurtured her love of painting. Marsha opened the Roslyn Village Gallery in 2016 and featured a large exhibit of Myra Fox’s work in 2017.
Of her own art Marsha says, “I believe my paintings speak on a level that makes one feel good. My art is peaceful, inspiring in me a feeling of serenity. If the content is sincere, it will be noticed. To me, painting is like breathing and I often remind myself how lucky I am to be a painter. I don’t believe artistic skill is a natural endowment…you are born with a gift, but the determining factor for an artist is motivation and hard work. It takes intelligence, sensitivity, good teaching and luck to develop artistically.” Her work is in many private collections.
SIZE AND FRAMING Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side. Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame, not the backboard. (Gallery wraps are acceptable.) No saw tooth hangers, no tape or string on the back. Work must be labeled with the title (if any), artist’s name, phone number, and email address.
FINALISTS The Selection Committee will review all entries and notify each artist as to the acceptance of the submitted work. The Art Guild has the right, in its sole discretion, to choose which eligible entries will be accepted to be exhibited. All decisions are final. Artists whose work has been selected will be notified after March 13.
Delivery of ARTWORK Selected artwork, (ready for display), is to be delivered on the dates indicated below. Please provide a typed bio or artist statement, printed on one side of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of white paper.
AWARDS 1st Place $300 • 2nd Place $200 • 3rd Place $100 • Honorable Mention certificates and Student Award/s (if applicable) will also be awarded.
