TABULA RASA
As we approach the new year, I start thinking about wiping the slate clean and starting with no guidelines or expectations… a fresh start if you will. Of course I am talking about my spice cabinet, but it applies to this next Call for Proposals to be a part of next year’s exhibition series, too…
Check out this Call for Proposals for the 2011 Season at the Courthouse Gallery sponsored by the Lake George Arts Project. There is no fee or restrictions to submitting your proposal for a group or solow show, and you just might get a show out of your efforts. Take a look…
CALL for PROPOSALS: The Courthouse Gallery
The Lake George Arts Project Gallery Committee invites artists to submit exhibition proposals to the Courthouse Gallery.
They seek proposals from professional artists and crafts-persons (those making a living, or endeavoring to make a living, through their artwork).
Strong preference is given to work created within the past two years. They welcome proposals for special exhibitions, installations, mixed media presentations, and performance art.
