West Plains, MO. – With Spring in the air, local organization Ozark Artery is going to begin a new, season-appropriate themed art show.
The show is called “Plants and Pollinators”, and is made to recognize and celebrate the importance of pollinators and their habitat. Read below for the announcement information:
This will be a multi-media 2D show, including paintings, drawings, photos, and other works which can be wall-displayed. All pieces must be suitably wired for hanging. The subject matter should feature native plants and wildflowers which attract pollinators; bees and other insects such as butterflies, beetles, wasps, and ants; or birds. Pieces can focus on any one aspect of the pollination process or any combination of the parts. Other subjects related to the theme will be considered.
There is a $5 entry fee for up to three entries, as this will be part of a fund-raising effort for the Artery. (That means for one to three pieces entered, it would be a total of $5. There is a six-piece maximum allowed per artist. The entry fee for six pieces would be a total of $10.)
Artists are encouraged to offer their work for sale, but it is not a requirement. A commission will be collected from sales with the amount on each piece set at time of entry. This is a non-competition show, with the exception being that a People’s Choice prize will be awarded. Each vote in choosing People’s Choice will be a $1 donation to the Artery.
Entries will be accepted at the Yellow House, 209 W. Trish Knight St., from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Wednesday, April 19. The opening of the show will be held in conjunction with the Yellow House’s Annual Earth Day Celebration on Saturday, April 22. It will continue to be on display during the regular hours of operation of the Yellow House (Wednesdays, 11-3, and Thursdays, 10-2) through at least the first week of May.
