Artists can enter up to three works for jurying. Entry fees are $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Wall-hung work size maximum: 60 inches in height, 42 inches in width. For safety reasons, plexiglass or other non-glass option should be used for work over 34 inches, excluding pastels. All work entered must be for sale.
Work can be submitted during gallery hours anytime up to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 23. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Maine native Dozier Bell is the Juror for the “Abstract” exhibition. Since her first solo show in 1987, she has appeared in 30 solo and two-person exhibits in New York City and nationwide.
Bell is the recipient of several awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship as artist-in-residence at the Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany, two Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grants, and the Adolf and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant.
A selection of her drawings from the Bates Museum is included in the current show at the Portland Museum of Art, “Director’s Cut: Selections from the Maine Art Museum Trail,” through September 20.
