Artists Wanted
The library is also looking for artist submissions for its upcoming “Art through the Ages Community Art Show,” from October 11 through December 31.
“Our next Community Art Show invites artists to pay homage to the rich tapestry of artistic styles that have shaped our world,” the library said in its announcement. “’Art through the Ages’ celebrates the evolution of artistic expression across eras, cultures, and mediums. Artists are encouraged to select an artistic style or movement from history as their inspiration then create original pieces that reinterpret, pay homage to, or reimagine the chosen style.”
The library added that all visual art mediums are welcome: painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, mixed media, and more. Submissions must include a brief artist statement explaining the connection between the work and the chosen artistic style. Two pieces per artists will be accepted. This non-juried show is open to all adult artists in Orange County. There is no entry fee.
Visit albertwisnerlibrary.org to download an application or stop by the library and pick one up.
The library also accepts applications to display exhibits in the Community Room, Gallery and locked display cases on the lower level, and for the Board Room on the main level. Artists interested in exhibiting their work can contact Siobhan O’Riordan at 845-986-1047, option 6.
