Gallery puts out call for art

Posted

Butterfield Garage is inviting artists of all ages and abilities to join the gallery in celebrating its 25th anniversary Open Community Art Project by creating and exhibiting artwork that speaks to the concept of “Influences.”

Is it the teacher, mentor artist that encouraged you? Or a painting you saw in a museum? Maybe it’s the beauty of nature or emotions inside that drive you to create. Be as creative as you like in your interpretation.

Draw it, paint it, collage it — be creative! Canvases and entry forms can be picked up at Butterfield Garage Art Gallery now. Entry fee is $10 per entry and includes an 8-by-8-inch canvas. Works created with materials other than the canvas supplied must conform to the 8-by-8-inch dimensions.

Entry forms are available at the gallery, or on the Butterfield Garage website, butterfieldgarage.com. The gallery is open every day, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

All entries must be received at Butterfield Garage Art Gallery no later than April 30. Exhibit opening reception will take place May 3, and the exhibit will continue through May 30. Artists decide if their work will be for sale. Butterfield Garage will handle any sales and will retain a 15% fee. Contact the gallery for further information.

Butterfield Garage Art Gallery is located at 137 King St., St. Augustine. The email address is info@butterfieldgarage.com. Phone: 904-825-4577.
