The Sketch Club has been selected by the Loudoun County Art Advisory Committee to have an Exhibit at the Loudoun County Government Center from August 5th through September 6th. Our curator of this exhibit is Steena Fulmer (Loudoun County Arts Curator). This is an art exhibit more than a sale opportunity. Any sales will be 'contact the artist'. See the Exhibition Guidelines at the link below. Labels will be created by the County and will not include prices. LSC will have a binder at the show containing your bio, contact information, and a price list for exhibited artworks should someone be interested in making a purchase with you directly.
Please carefully read Loudoun County's Exhibition Guidelines HERE. Note the unacceptable hanging/framing standards.
This is a two step process. The first step is to complete the entry registration form on this site. You will receive an email by July 16th informing you if your artwork has been selected (or not) by the Curator for the exhibit. Acceptance emails will contain another link to the County’s ART LOAN FORM which must then be completed.
The space in Gallery One is limited and we may not be able to hang/display every entry. Please limit your 2D entry to pieces maximum overall (framed) size of 16x20 so we can get more pieces in the show. There are glass cases which can accomodate small 3D sculptures or pottery pieces or small paintings on artist supplied stands (<10" high with a couple taller <20" items). Keep this in mind when submitting your entry. The artist will need to supply the stand. Most floater frames will be able to stand on their own in the glass cabinets.
Each member may enter one entry to be hung on the wall and one entry to be displayed in the glass cabinets. If you don't have anything that will fit in the glass cabinets, leave that part of the registration blank.
Acceptance or non acceptance is only due to space and height limitations; this is not a juried exhibition.
