Art League invites contest submissions

The Island Now

The Art Guild invites all artists to submit artworks for consideration for “Line: Through Thick & Thin” a Juried Competition and Exhibition on view April 9-May 15. 

Line is one of the basic elements in art — descriptive, implied or abstract, bold, soft, elegant or jagged. A line defines the curve of a hip. The lines on the highway define a journey. This exhibit is open to artworks in which the line is a dominant component.

The Juror-of-Awards is Antonio Masi. Masi, is president of  the American Watercolor Society and has been featured in The Artist’s Magazine, PBS – “Sunday Arts,” NBC-TV “Weekend Today in New York,” and a Newsday feature in August 2008, “Bridgemaster.” 

In June 2009 Masi had a solo exhibition for The New York Centennial Commission of the Queensboro Bridge, a solo show in 2010 at The Forbes Gallery in New York City, The New York City Transit Museum in 2012, and The Salmagundi Club of New York. He is featured in the September 2014, The New York Times video, “Living City: A Tale of Two Bridges.”

All artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), are invited to submit up to three artworks for consideration. All styles from abstract to realism are welcome. 

The deadline for submissions is midnight March 18. For more information, registration form, or to register on line, please visit The Art Guild’s website at www.TheArtGuild.org.

The exhibit will be on view in The Art Guild’s gallery at Elderfields Preserve, 200 Port Washington Blvd., Manhasset, from Saturday, April 9 through Sunday, May 15. Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 1 – 5 p.m. or by appointment. An Artists’ Reception and Awards Ceremony will be held on Sunday, April 10, from 3-5 p.m.
