The Tri-County Arts Council Announces Small Works Members Show
OLEAN - The Tri-County Arts Council is calling on area artists to enter some of their work for the "A Little Something" small works member show.
All media and skill levels are welcome and there will be an opening reception from 5:30-7:30pm on Saturday, November 18th in the Peg Bothner Gallery. This year’s award juror is Colin Shaffer, Gallery Operations Manager at Chautauqua Institution and the Managing Director of Galleries at Jamestown Community College.
Artists need to be a member of TCAC as of November 4th and their artwork must be under 12×12 inches for 2D, and under 12x12x12 inches for 3D. For membership information, visit www.tricountyartscouncil.org/join-us. TCAC has memberships ranging from individual memberships to studio memberships.
Drop off up to three pieces now through November 5th at the TCAC office, 110 W. State St. The TCAC will be open from 10:00am-6:00pm that day for a special artwork drop off day. Sean Huntington will be there to answer questions. The TCAC is open from noon-6:00pm Tuesday through Friday and noon-5:00pm Saturdays. If you are unable to drop off artwork during business hours, please call 716-372-7455 or email info@myartscouncil.net and make arrangements for off-hours delivery or shipping. Late entries will not be accepted.
Unsold artwork must remain at the TCAC through the end of the show. Customers may begin to pick up work beginning December 2nd, so TCAC may ask you for a “restock” if you sell out. This is an originals-only show, although limited edition photography/digital art prints (if working in digital media) and print-making such as woodblock prints are welcome.
Awards will be presented in two categories, amateur and professional (this includes 2D and 3D work in all media) as follows:
Best in Show: $100 plus a year’s artisan membership (this allows you to sell in the TCAC Artisan Market)
Best Professional: $50 plus a year’s artisan membership
Honorable Mention Professional: $20 plus a year’s artisan membership
Best Amateur: $50 plus a year’s artisan membership
Honorable Mention Amateur: $20 plus a year’s artisan membership
