DAMARISCOTTA

The Kefauver Studio & Gallery in Damariscotta is calling for artists to participate in the 6-inch-by-6-inch art exhibit. This show, featuring artwork that’s small in size but big in impact, is the fifth of the gallery’s 2018 season, and runs Oct. 12-Nov. 4.

Each submitted work must have an image size of 6 inches by 6 inches and be an original creation. All mediums will be considered, including oil, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, photographs, sculpture and hand-pulled prints. Several artists selected for the show will have the opportunity to present six of their works, which will be displayed together.

All work must be professionally presented and ready for hanging or displaying (framed or painted edges, wired for hanging with no sawtooth hangers). Pedestals are available for three-dimensional work.

Several artists will be selected to present their work at the show. To enter, email up to five works in .jpg format to: [email protected]. Deadline for submission is Sunday, Sept. 30.

Accepted work will need to be dropped of between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 8.

There is no fee for entering, but a $15 fee will be charged to cover all accepted works to help with exhibition costs.

The artist may price the work as he or she likes, but the work should be priced reasonably. No not-for-sale works will be accepted. All sales and sales taxes will be handled by the gallery, as will shipping, if necessary. In the event of a sale, the artist will be notified and may, but isn’t required to, replace the work sold. The Gallery will retain a commission of 35 percent.

An artists’ reception, open to the public, will be held from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13.

For questions about the 6- inch-by-6-inch show or for information on how to submit your work, contact Will Kefauver at (207) 226-0974, or [email protected].

The Kefauver Studio & Gallery is located at 144 Bristol Road in Damariscotta, and is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 pm.
