FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 23, 2010
AUBURN, Wash. – September 23, 2010 – The City of Auburn seeks visual artists and/or artist groups working in two-dimensional media to exhibit their work at one of two City of Auburn gallery spaces in 2011. The deadline to be considered is Monday, Oct. 8 and artists of all mediums are encouraged to apply. Teaching artists are also encouraged to apply in order to offer a class coinciding with the exhibit through the City of Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation division.
A selection panel of seven individuals including art commissioners, community members and artists will review the artwork and select imaginative pairings for display amongst the two city managed gallery spaces. City Hall Gallery, Cheryl Sallee Gallery Wall and at the Auburn Senior Activity Center all feature dedicated spaces for the display of two-dimensional artwork.
“It’s a great opportunity, especially for emerging artists, to have a high traffic area in which artwork can be seen and sold,” notes Maija McKnight Arts Coordinator.
Full submission guidelines are available at www.auburnwa.gov/arts or call Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation during regular business hours, Monday - Friday, at 253-931-3043.
