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.

Some mixed media but primarily the drawn images are what we are encouraging for the focus of this show.

Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center Quarterly Art Show
Call to Artists October 2018
Delivery of Art: Wednesday, October 3, 2018 2 p.m

“Shanties, Shacks, & Other Structures”

The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artworks created depicting buildings of all sorts—shanties, shacks, barns, bridges and warehouses. All structural things man-made 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. This show runs October through December 2018.

As usual you can be creative in your interpretation of the theme, keeping in mind 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 as a political soapbox. Thank you for your continued positive approach to art in these shows.

Show Calendar:  Show runs October, November, and December 2018

Reception:  Sunday, October 7, 2018 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Delivery of Art:  Wednesday, October 3, 2018 2 p.m.

Bring ready-to-hang art plus paperwork to the SCHHC, Bandon.

See you there!
