Officially the Clinton festivities run from 5-10pm on Friday, September 9th and then 10-4 on Saturday, September 10th. So it’s a fairly early end on Saturday to then take things down and be all set.

…….

Please let us know if you’re interested in participating so we can arrange the right number of panels for our group and coordinate set-up and take-down! If you can’t bring the art up yourself, just get it to Carol F by Wed evening with the entry fee. Let us know if you have any questions!

The PhotoSynthesis gallery in Manchester, Connecticut is having a show themed “Witching Hour: Imagery from Darkness” – the deadline to enter is August 31, 2016. It’s open to any photographic medium.

From their description of the show:

“Historically, the witching hour is that time of night when witches, ghosts, and supernatural beings are thought to be most active. The exact time varies depending on particular beliefs, but is generally considered to be some period of darkness between dusk and dawn. An everyday use of the term might define the witching hour simply as “after dark.”

Whatever one’s beliefs or lack thereof in the supernatural, it is certain that the perception of one’s surroundings at night can be substantially different than the perception of one’s surroundings during the day. Moonlight creates soft shadows; forms merge together; imagination and fear lurk in the darkness. Perhaps fatigue sets in and feeds our mind irrational images—”a trick of the light and too much caffeine,” to borrow a line from the gothic rock band Bauhaus.

We are seeking images, in any photographic medium, that convey interpretations of the witching hour. How do you photograph darkness? Forty to fifty pieces will be chosen by the juror to be exhibited at Gallery 136½.”

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.
