The Minto Arts Council is sponsoring its third Juried Art Exhibition from May 4 to June 2 at the Minto Arts Gallery in the Harriston Library. Entry is open to all artists living in Ontario.
Original works including two or three dimensional pieces, installation and new media works completed within the last five years will be accepted.
The exhibition is juried by three artists:
– Wesley Bates is a well-known wood engraver who has expanded his horizons to paintings in oils, acrylic and gouache, drawings, etchings, glass engravings, handmade books and letterpress work. Bates also illustrates for major publishers. His gallery, studio and his own imprint, West Meadow Press are in Clifford Ontario.
– Karen Cheesman is originally from Toronto, now living in rural Ontario. Cheesman is a multi-disciplinary, international award winning lettering artist and type designer. Her varied passions have led her to produce more unconventional works which combine influences from architecture and her rural surroundings.
– Dot (Currie) Cork is a fine arts graduate who now lives in Mount Forest. Her whimsical, colourful east coast-inspired art is frequently exhibited in Cape Breton Island where she spends four months a year. When not in Cape Breton, she teaches art in Mount Forest.
The entry deadline is April 1. Successful artists will be notified of the jury’s decision by April 14.
Entry forms and conditions of entry are posted on the Minto Arts Council website at www.mintoartscouncil.ca.
The exhibition will hold an awards reception on May 17 from 7 to 9pm. Artists will attend and visitors can select the People’s Choice artist.
