Submissions are due by 4 p.m. May 16. The show will run from May 19 through July 4, with a gala opening reception from 2-4 p.m. May 23.

The Members’ Show celebrates the talent of River Arts’ member artists and showcases the wide range of art being created in Maine. River Arts welcomes all media, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, fiber, photography, ceramics, original printmaking, drawing, encaustic and pastel. Works may be representational or abstract. The show offers artists the opportunity to submit work for an impressive salon-style exhibition.

Submissions are open to all current and new members. Submitted pieces must measure no larger than 30 inches in height or width, including the frame.

Annual dues are $60 for individual artists or $90 for a household membership. Check with River Arts if you are unsure whether your membership is still active. There is a $15 hanging fee for participation in the Members’ Show.
