Zullo Gallery Fundraiser

From the Zullo Gallery:

The Zullo Gallery hosts an annual art festival in the late spring as our one major fundraising event of the year. It significantly helps cover the costs of putting on six exhibitions a year: showcard printing, mailings, rent, utilities etc. all the expenses that go into putting on a show. We are looking for artists who can donate one small work. In the past we have given artists a blank 6x8in canvas panel to paint – we can still do that – and if you’d like a canvas (or two) we will mail them to you with a return envelope right away. If you work in another medium, i.e. pastel, watercolor, printmaking, photography etc. and have a small piece – roughly 6×8 or smaller..it can be square also – anything really that’s “small”… that you could donate – that would certainly work as well. All work can be unframed.

Your donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you to all who have donated in the past.

All donated work will be sold for $60 each at the Zullo Gallery 7th Annual Art Festival Saturday
June 18, 7-11pm All artists donating work will be recognized on a poster in the gallery. If you would like to include a business card or other promotional information with your work we will display that also.

The evening will include live music (Latin/Jazz Band), appetizers and drinks – and will be held on the common (near the Gazebo by the Medfield Library) under the fabulous big tent and inside the gallery (where paintings will be displayed). All proceeds help fund the gallery exhibition program and pay for improvements to our space. We are asking that all work arrive at the gallery by June 16.

Panels can be acrylic or oil. Please put your name and contact info on the back of the panel – or whatever work you are donating.

If you need us to mail you a canvas let us know – or if you plan to donate a small piece let us know as well. We’ll look forward to receiving it.

Thanks.

2016 Somerville Toy Camera Festival

STFC2016_Header

DEADLINE:
June 15, 2016

EXHIBITION DATES:
September-October 2016

LOCATIONS:
Brickbottom Gallery, Nave Gallery Annex and Washington Street Art Center

JURIED BY:
Christopher James

The Somerville Toy Camera Festival seeks entries for its fourth annual celebration of toy and lo-fi photography.

Images of any subject matter, made with a “toy” camera – any low-tech, limited-control camera such as pinhole, Holga, Diana/Diana clones, Brownies, Anscos, disposable cameras – are eligible. This year we also welcome images made with digital holgas and certain hybrid devices, such as plastic cameras that have been modified to shoot plate film, or outfitted with modified shutters or digital chips. The key criteria are plastic lenses and a lack of reliable exposure control. Straight Polaroid-type images or images made with cell phones or digital cameras (other than digital Holga) will not be considered.

Deadline for submission: June 15, 2016
Photographers will be notified by: July 15, 2016
Work must be received by: August 27, 2016

All shows will open in September. Exact dates and related events to be determined. The final placement of work will be decided by the organizing committee. Accepted pieces should be delivered to the respective gallery ready to install. Artists are responsible for cost of shipping to and from the gallery.
