Artists are invited to submit work for jurying into the “Our Community” exhibition.

Work can be in any media and should address the theme. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly: family, friends, activities, neighborhoods, gatherings, things that bring us together, community of present, past or imagined. Up to three works may be submitted. The work is due no later than April 19 at 4 p.m. The exhibition opens with a reception on April 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. and runs through May 22.

All media, styles and subjects are welcome. All work entered must be for sale. Wall-hung work  size maximum: 60 inches in height, 42 inches in width (and for safety reasons plexiglass or other non-glass option should be used for work over 34 inches, excluding pastels). Early submissions are accepted within usual gallery hours. Artists may submit up to three works for an entry fee of $15 for members, $20 for non-members. Artists will be notified by email or phone of the juror’s decision. Submissions may not have been shown at River Arts previously. Entry forms are available online at www.riverartsme.org and at the gallery when submitting.

The juror for the exhibition is Susan Danly, the senior curator of the Portland Museum of Art (PMA) from 2002-2012. A specialist in American art and the history of photography, Danly holds doctorate and master’s degrees from Brown University.

A curator of American art with over 30 years of experience, Danly has worked at the Mead Art Museum (1993-2000), the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1988-93), and the Huntington Library and Art Gallery (1984-87). Among her numerous publications are books on the photographs of Edward Weston and Thomas Eakins, and Georgia O’Keeffe and the photograph. At the Portland Museum of Art, Danly curated numerous exhibitions devoted to the art of Maine, including three Biennial exhibitions, a series of shows dealing with historical and contemporary photography in Maine, and several exhibitions of graphics from the PMA’s permanent collection.
