Call for Art
The West Windsor Arts Council invites artists of all ages to participate in the “GR8 Works” art show by creating an original 8×8 inch artwork to raise funds to support a diverse and accessible art program with a focus on community.
WWAC will provide each artist with one 8×8” blank canvas, while supplies last, or you can use your own. Create an original artwork that fires your imagination and creativity and showcases your style. Submissions must be dropped off at the Arts Council between Monday, February 27, and Friday, March 3.
Artwork will be hung in the gallery from March 7 to March 25 and will be offered for sale at $88 each. Artists can choose to split that with West Windsor Arts (50/50), or donate all of the proceeds to our cause. West Windsor Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) organization.
The “GR8 Works” reception will be held on Friday March 10, from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information and to access the entry form visit www.westwindsorarts.org.
