Call for Entries: Rural Rising Theme

This is the tenth year that the Arts Council will hold a Call for Entries show. This year’s theme Rural Rising, coincides with a project of the Rural Experience Community and a Spring Symposium at Juniata College on March 28.

The Call for Entries exhibit will be on display from April 3 to May 3, with an opening reception on Thursday, April 3, from 6 to 8 p.m. All artists are invited to participate.

We hope that artists will start thinking now about what they might contribute to the exhibit. All types of media are accepted, including 2-D and 3-D artwork, poetry, and prose. All artwork should be based on, inspired by, or related to Rural Rising. All 2-D art should be framed and ready for hanging. Entries will be accepted at the Arts Center on Monday & Tuesday, March 31 & April 1, from 2 to 6 p.m. 

We have had great exhibits with these shows in the past. Our previous Call for Entries shows included Celebrating 50 Years of Lake Raystown in 2024, Silver Lining in 2023, Equinox in 2022, Luminosity in 2019 (inspired by a quote from Galileo Galilei), Along the Juniata in 2018, Latitude, Longitude: Celebrating the 250 years of Huntingdon Borough in 2017, Explore, Reclaim, and Conserve: Huntingdon County in 2016, Contours in 2015 (about bicycles and bicycling), and The Raven in 2014 (based on the poem by Edgar Allen Poe).
