Island Art Gallery 2021 Annual Spring Show

This is a Call for Artists to participate in the Island Art Gallery’s Spring Show to be held May 2021.  Our shows are meant to encourage awareness of the arts in our community and provide an opportunity for artists to not only show their work but to challenge themselves.  Opening day will be on Friday, May 7th, 2021.  As we get closer to the date we will share more definitive plans based on CDC recommendations. The show will also be posted on the gallery website.  We will carry on the theme -- "The Color of Light"--  from last year's show that was cancelled due to the pandemic.  Artwork should be submitted by Saturday, May 1st, 2021.  The show will be judged and we will be awarding prize money for first, second and third place.  Entry fee is $20 for artists outside the gallery.   The show will hang in the gallery through the month of May. One entry per person. 
Requirements: 

1. Format –  Maximum painting size will be 20x24 including frame, if not framed must be 1 1/2" gallery wrapped canvas. 3D pieces are also accepted as long as they do not exceed 24" height, width or depth.  Please make sure that the artwork is ready to hang with proper wire.
2. All work must be original, not created in a class or workshop, created in the past year, and not previously shown in Georgetown County, SC. 
3. Artist must submit 3-4 sentences, on the application form, on your creative process.  Did you paint plein art, from a photograph (your own or one with permission), any use of computers, or apps, or is it totally from your imagination, etc.  The process should be transparent.
