The Kefauver Studio & Gallery, Damariscotta, is calling for artists to participate in the “Monhegan Days” art show, running from September 15th through October 9th.
This show will depict the views, the architecture, and the charm of Monhegan Island, so submitted works should be in keeping with that theme. Each submitted work must be an original creation, and all mediums will be considered, including oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, gouache, photographs, sculpture, and hand-pulled prints. All work must be ready for hanging or displaying (framed or painted edges, wired for hanging with no sawtooth hangers.) Pedestals are available for 3-dimensional work.
Several artists will be selected to present up to 5 works at the show. To enter, submit up to 5 works in jpg form via email to: will@kefauverstudio.com. Deadline for submission is Monday, August 28th.
The artist may price the work as he/she likes, but the work should be priced reasonably for sale. No NFS works will be accepted. All sales and sales taxes will be handled by the Gallery, as will shipping, if necessary. The gallery commission is 35%. In the event of a sale, the artist may, but isn’t required to, replace the work sold. In the event of a sale, the artist may, but isn’t required to, replace the work sold.
