The Sippican Lands Trust (SLT) and the Marion Art Center are partnering to sponsor a non-juried exhibition by local artists to highlight the many scenic sites that comprise the Lands Trust’s forests and marshes. This is one of several initiatives undertaken by the SLT to encourage visitation and enjoyment of the properties protected by the Trust. Local artists are invited to submit up to three works, in any media, for a non-juried exhibition to be held at the Marion Art Center, October 2 through November 14, 2015.
All submitted works must depict scenes of or from SLT properties.
Registration by September 1 is required. Register online at http://www.marionartcenter.org/call-artists/.
The Marion Art Center will receive a 30% commission on the sale of each piece.
There will be a special “Young Artists” division within this exhibition. Young artists in elementary school, middle school and high school are invited to submit one piece for the exhibition.
Artists wishing to exhibit should submit original pieces (no more than three), matted and framed with title, medium and price. Sculpture should be presented exhibition ready.
All pieces must be for sale, must be originals and have been executed within the last three years, and must not have been previously exhibited at the Marion Art Center.
All paintings and photographs must be framed, preferably matted (in white or neutrals) and ready to hang (i.e., secured with heavy picture wire and wrapped in tape, affixed to eye-hooks that have been attached securely to the frame).
Dates for dropping off artwork at the Marion Art Center are Tuesday, September 29 and Wednesday, September 30 from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.
Trail maps of the Lands Trust properties are available at the SLT offices, 354 Front Street, Marion (next to Uncle Jon’s) or on-line at www.sippicanlandstrust.org. Walking tours of SLT properties will be conducted for interested artists in June, July and August (dates to be determined). Complete registration packets are also available at the Marion Art Center at 80 Pleasant Street in Marion.
