Call for Films
Submissions are being accepted through January 15, 2024, for the 2024 Princeton Environmental Film Festival (PEFF), a signature Princeton Public Library event featuring films and filmmaker presentations that explore sustainability and environmental issues.
The festival will be held April 5 through 14, and films will be screened in person and also available to stream online. An entry form and additional information about PEFF is available at princetonlibrary.org/peff. There is no fee to submit a film for consideration.
The PEFF is under the direction of Susan Conlon and Kim Dorman, whose focus is to present films with local, regional and international relevance, and engage our community in exploring environmental consciousness and sustainability from a wide range of angles and perspectives.
Call for Art
One of Artworks Trenton’s signature events, the 10×10 Red Dot Fundraising Exhibition, is accepting entries for its 13th year.
Artistic Director Addison Vincent states, “During the pandemic, we utilized the internet and a virtual gallery to keep the 10×10 alive. We are carrying the virtual exhibition into this year’s event, learning that the popularity of the 10×10 was far reaching, and it gives people accessibility without having to be here in person.”
Managing Director Craig Shofed spoke to the accessibility for artists. “The 10×10 is an example of Artworks’ overall mission of making art accessible to everyone. Anyone can participate in the exhibition, from refrigerator artists, budding artists testing the waters and showing their work for the first time, right up to the seasoned veteran, we accept all works created for the event, provided they fit the 10”x10” criteria.”
Red Dot + Artwork = Support. The Red Dot shows support for Artworks and the community of artists in Trenton. Trenton area and regional artists can pick up one free 10”x10” canvas courtesy of Jerry’s Artarama in Lawrence at Artworks while supplies last. Jerry’s Artarama will also have canvases for a discounted price if the artists wish to create more than one. Works in oil, acrylic, mixed media, photography, pastel, watercolor and more can be found in this exhibition. Each artwork sells for $100, with $50 going to the artist, and $50 going to Artworks.
Art submissions run through Saturday, November 25. Drop-off for artwork begins Tuesday, November 28, and runs through Sunday, December 3, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Artworks members receive a one-hour preview and ability to purchase first, starting at 5 p.m. on Saturday, December 9.
