You Are Invited: Call for Entries Exhibit in May

Category:Exhibits

For the eighth time, The Arts Council will hold a Call for Entries show. This show will run from May 12 to June 3 at the Arts Center. This year’s theme will be Silver Linings. All artists are invited to participate.

If every cloud has a silver lining, then there is always hope, even when we are sad or discouraged. The arts provide a kind of silver lining because they help us to retain a positive outlook on life even in the midst of personal difficulties. In stressful times, we need the arts more than ever! 

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 the Silver Linings theme. All 2-D art should be framed and ready for hanging. Entries will be accepted at the Arts Center on Tuesday, May 9, and Wednesday, May 10, from 2 to 6 p.m. or by appointment. 

We have had great exhibits with these shows in the past. Our previous Call for Entries shows included 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). 

Call for entry shows are popular with the public and provide a great opportunity for all of our local artists to show their work. This will be the first Call for Entries show in the new Arts Center.
