Artists are invited to submit up to three pieces for jurying. Work can be entered anytime up until Sept. 5 at 4 p.m.

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.

The juror for this show will be Damariscotta native Ken Greenleaf. Greenleaf has spent his career in New York City and in Waldoboro where he resides when in Maine.

An artist whose work is embedded in a philosophical and theoretical framework, Greenleaf is a committed modernist, working in the minimalist tradition. In recent years, his emphasis has been on creating streamlined paintings on shaped supports and paper collages, in which he continues the engagement with relations between shapes and materials that has been the central focus of his art. While comprised of geometric forms, Greenleaf's art has a freeform aspect, forcing us to mentally organize what we're seeing into “ideas.” In recent years, he has added color to his art, enriching the way shapes are seen. By jettisoning “narrative, rhetoric, and illusion,” Greenleaf strives to go directly to the nature of art.

Greenleaf has participated recently in a number of exhibitions, including Charcoal!, held at the Schick Art Gallery, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, in 2013, The Art of Collage, held at the Art Gallery, University of New England, Portland, Maine, in 2014, and Intercept, a solo show held at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockport, Maine, in 2012.

Greenleaf's work is in the collections of many museums and public collections, including Bates College, Lewiston, Maine; the Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, Maine; the Indianapolis Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; the Portland Museum of Art, Maine; the Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita State University, Kansas; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Greenleaf is now represented by Berry-Campbell Gallery, New York.
