The Art Guild of Port Washington invites artists, high school and older, to submit artworks in consideration for Mood and Ambiance, a juried competition and exhibition.
Through the use of color, value, composition, symbolism, and application, artists create an ambiance or mood that can evoke an emotional response from the viewer.
We invite you to submit original work that elicits a sense of playfulness, happiness, calm, sadness, anger, spaciousness, anxiety, peacefulness, energy, nostalgia or some other feeling- the possibilities are endless.
All styles from non-objective to abstracted realism are welcome. Mediums include, but are not limited to, acrylic, charcoal, collage, colored pencil, digital art, mixed media, oil, printmaking, sculpture, etc. No photography. Size must not exceed 36” on the longest side. To learn more about our requirements and submit work, please visit: theartguild.org/mood_and_ambiance.
The deadline to submit artwork for consideration is Monday, August 2 at midnight. The exhibition will be on view from Sept. 2-Sept. 25.
The artists awards and reception will be hosted on Thursday, Sept. 2, from 6-8 PM at The Art Guild. We welcome all artists and community members to join us at our awards and reception to view the exhibition.
