Call for Art: A Glimmer of Light, A Splash of Color!

As Spring Approaches, Artists Invited to Welcome the Infusion of Light and Color to Brighten their World

BRISTOL, Rhode Island - The Bristol Art Museum and Rogers Free Library announce a call for art for a new juried community exhibit - A Glimmer of Light, A Splash of Color! -  that invites artists to explore the transformative power of light and color against a backdrop of monotony, sparking the imagination and infusing life into the canvas. The exhibit will showcase a collection of visual art in the Community Gallery of the Library from May 13 to July 10. Artists and sculptor Kristin Street will serve as juror for the exhibit. Submissions are due by Apr. 22 at http://www.bristolartmuseum.org/call-for-art.html. Online registration will open soon.
“A Glimmer of Light, A Splash of Color! encourages artists to break free from the monotony of winter and embrace the vibrant energy of spring,” said Vicky McGrath, Bristol Art Museum Board Member. “By incorporating one or two tones of a background of color and contrasting it with a splash of vivid hues, artists can explore the dynamic interplay between light and color, breathing life into their creations.”
Street is an artist and educator with a rich background in the arts. Having earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Textile Design from The Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Fine Arts degree from The Maryland Institute College of Art, Street has made significant contributions to the arts community through teaching and promoting the works of fellow artists. Her expertise and passion for art promise to bring depth and insight to the selection process.
“As an artist, I have dedicated my life to both creating art and fostering artistic communities, from founding the Krause Gallery to establishing The Mill Gallery in Pawtucket,” said Street. “Today, I find solace and inspiration in the serene landscapes of Foster, Rhode Island, and the sun-kissed shores of Palm Harbor, Florida, where I continue to weave my creative tapestry for the world to behold. Throughout my career, I have dedicated considerable time and energy to teaching and promoting the efforts of fellow artists, while maintaining a consistent exhibition schedule."
All submissions must be made through the Bristol Art Museum website by Mon., Apr. 22. The exhibition welcomes a diverse range of artistic mediums, including drawing, Painting, printmaking, collage, fiber arts, and photography. However, please note that three-dimensional works will not be considered for this particular exhibit. Works cannot be larger than 18 inches by 24 inches and must be original.
