ERIN – The Town of Erin is inviting artists of all ages and backgrounds to apply for participation in the public exhibition of artwork at Erin Town Hall, otherwise known as “Art in the Hall.”
This program, overseen by the Town of Erin’s Artwork Selection Committee (ASC), is intended to celebrate the diverse, creative talent within the local community, free of charge.
“We are very excited to be re-launching this program once again, post-pandemic,” said Mayor Allan Alls.
“It will be nice to see and support existing and emerging local talent, right here in Erin.”
The Art in the Hall program will be accepting seasonal submissions to be displayed outside council chambers throughout the year, for public viewing.
Exhibitions will be attributed to themes that will be announced on the town website and social media channels. The theme for August is #ErinProud.
The deadline for submissions is Aug. 15.
Art in the Hall is a program offering public space for local visual artists to display creative artwork within the Erin Town Hall.
Themes will change approximately four times a year, with the duration of each exhibition lasting 10 to 12 weeks.
There is no fee to submit or display the artwork. Artists are responsible for insuring their artwork.
All artists or team/group of artists and/or exhibitors who reside, work, study and/or teach in Erin are eligible.
The town asks that interested artists under the age of 18 have the permission from a parent and/or guardian to enter the submission process for the Town Hall Art Project. All interested applicants must have their parent/guardian sign and complete the submission form attached in order to be eligible.
Applicants are encouraged to use the online submission forms.
If you prefer to submit a PDF application, email communications@erin.ca or hand it in an envelop marked “Art in the Hall,” in person at town hall.
The application must include the image and size of the artwork being submitted. Artists whose artwork is selected will receive an email with instructions on next steps.
