Call for Art on the Green artists

Warwick — This summer Community 2000 will again sponsor a series of four juried artist/artisan exhibitions and sales on Railroad Green. The events will be held on Sundays, June 19, July 17, Aug. 21 and Sept. 18, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. with set up and breakdown taking approximately an hour and an half at each end. These shows will attempt to present a wide range of arts including but not limited to fabric (weaving, quilting. batik, etc.), glass (blown, painted, stained), photography, wood (working, turning and carving), jewelry, leather, pottery, sculpture, fine art (paintings, prints, drawings, giclee, etc.), stone wall construction, stone carving and more. Each show will be limited to approximately 18 vendors. Spaces are 10X10 and cost $35. This fee will pay for promotion and other expenses. Spaces will accommodate a tent. Depending on the number of applications it is possible to have an opportunity to participate in more than one show. Participants for each show will be selected to exhibit a diverse range of arts. Therefore applying to more than one is encouraged. Electricity is available only in exceptional circumstances, i.e. for fans to cool the alpacas. Contact us to qualify for exceptionality. Community organizations with a connection to the arts are encouraged to participate and will be given a space to promote their activities and display examples of the art involved. These shows are designed to allow Warwick to become better acquainted with its artists and to provide a venue to sell their works. The shows will be composed predominately of Warwick area artists. But since art has few boundaries there is some flexibility in this requirement, though proximity to Warwick will be given preference. All work must be made by the artist and will be juried. Community 2000 is also looking for musicians, magicians and other entertainers who will be given space to sell CDs/promote themselves in exchange for their performances. Email Jim Ewell for more information at jelwell47@yahoo.com. Applications for artist/vendors are online at www.artonthegreen.info. Applications should be submitted as soon as possible. There is no jury fee, but payment will be expected upon acceptance.
