Call for Artists: Bain Elementary Arts Fest

Bain Elementary School is looking for several artists to display their work at Bain's annual Spring Arts Fest on Thursday, May 6, 2010, from 6:00 - 7:45 pm.

The evening includes musical performances, children's art displays and a hands-on craft for the kids. Participating artists will set up a small display (easels or small table) in the media center, and will have the opportunity to talk to the children and parents as they tour the displays.

There is room for 4-5 artists. If you are interested in participating, please email Laura Sussman-Randall by Friday morning (4/23/10) with your name, medium, and one picture that is representative of your work (or a link to your website if you have one).

This is a great opportunity for Mint Hill Arts members to give back to the community and support arts education on a local level!

Call for Submissions: May Offsite Exhibits

Mint Hill Arts will have a special intake for works to be exhibited at its offsite venues during the month of June. Due to space limitations we can only accommodate 40-50 pieces so acceptance will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Details:
Intake: May 5, 2010 from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm at Mint Hill Arts Gallery.
Entry fee: None.
Standards: All work must be two-dimensional and appropriately wired for hanging (no clips, saw-toothed hangers, staples or tape). Work that does not meet these standards will be declined. While the hanging spaces can accommodate a small number of larger pieces, dimensions of less than 30" wide and 48" high are optimal.
Offsite exhibits are an important community outreach. We welcome your participation!

Contact Romie Mizell with any questions.
