The Art League of Long Island invites artists from Suffolk, Nassau, Brooklyn, and Queens to submit entries to the upcoming juried exhibition “A Quotidian Life: Finding Beauty in the Ordinary.”
The exhibit will show in their Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery July 15 through Aug. 5. Deadline to submit applications is Tuesday, June 13.
In this juried exhibition, the Art League asks the artist to submit two-or three-dimensional works addressing beauty in the ordinary or commonplace.
This may be found in the quality of light or color, the surprise of a repeated form, or a glance between two people. Where do you find beauty? These works may be realistic or abstract. All mediums will be considered, with the exception of photography or video.
