The Huntington Arts Council currently has a call to artists for an upcoming exhibit, “The Winter Solstice: Darkness Into Light,” that will run from Dec. 8 to Jan. 6, 2018.
“The winter solstice is a turning point, not just astrologically, but also in our psyches,” says juror Laura Powers-Swiggett, who exhibits widely on Long Island. “Artists since ancient times have mined its rich symbolic, metaphoric and spiritual imagery. The visual possibilities are endless. ‘The Winter Solstice: Darkness Into Light’ is a theme that resonates greatly with my own work and lends itself equally well to abstract and figurative interpretations.”
The exhibit is open to all artists including full-time students.
The eligible mediums include oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, graphite, charcoal, acrylic, sculpture and photography.
