Call to Artists April 2019

“Dogs, Cats and Other Pets—With Their People or Without”

The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artwork depicting dogs, cats and other pets—with or without their people. All breeds and styles of dogs and cats, or any other types of pets, with or without their human owners are subjects for the artist’s consideration. Artists may enter 1-3 pieces using painting, collage, mixed media, drawing, photography or assemblage in all artistic styles: representational, abstract, or futuristic. All works must be able to be hung on the wall.

Please remember that art on the hospital walls is meant to entertain and de-stress the patients, families, staff and general visitors. It is not a venue for nudity, violence, morbidity, or a political soapbox.  Thank you for your continued positive approach to art in these shows.

Reception: Sunday, April 7, 2019 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Delivery of Art: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 2 p.m.

The Artist Loft Gallery
THE POWER OF SMALL ART
March 1 to April 27

The Artist Loft Gallery, at 367 Anderson Ave., Coos Bay, will be hosting an area-wide open art show in March and April. The theme is “ THE POWER OF SMALL ART.”

Often, we think an artwork must be large to be interesting. We encourage artists to prove that idea wrong. Your work can be old, new or in between.

Artists, whether amateur, professional or beginners are invited to submit both two-dimensional or three-dimensional art works. For space consideration, 2D works cannot exceed 11” X 14” (NOT including frames,) and the maximum dimension in any direction for 3D items is 12”.

The Gallery is inviting artists of any level who work in any medium to enter. There will be three prizes and several Honorable Mention ribbons, as well as a People’s Choice award.

Up to three items may be entered – fees are $10 for the first item and $5 each for the second and third entries. The show will run from March 1 to April 27.

Entries can be brought to the Gallery anytime up to February 23 .

For details and entry blank, email grwick@gmail.com, stop by the gallery, or call the gallery at 541-756-4088.
