Call to Artists

Chandler Gallery Call to Area Artists! 

            Chandler Gallery's Area Artist Show will take place from May 28 - July 10. Work from artists will be accepted on Tuesday, May 24 from 3 - 7 pm and Wednesday, May 25 from 9 am -12 noon. The opening reception for artists will be held on Saturday, May 28 from 7 - 9 pm and the artists and community are invited to come enjoy the wide diversity of art on display and participate in this vital gallery tradition. 

            The local Artist show has always been an open call exhibit, with the guarantee to hang at least one piece from each artist who submits work for this celebration of artistic talent in our area. This exhibit features new work from established artists as well those who are exhibiting for the first time. 

            This year's exhibit theme is "eARTh". Artists may submit up to three pieces in any size or media. There is a small participation fee of $10 to cover advertising and reception expenses. Chandler takes a 30% commission on any work that is sold. Works may be submitted that are not for sale. All work should all be framed or submitted in a way that allows them to be easily hung or displayed. Please do not submit works that have been shown at the Chandler Gallery in the past.

Gallery hours are Thursday 4-6 pm, Saturday and Sunday 1 - 3 pm.
