The Grayson Gallery and Art Center (GGAC) have released a call for submissions for their July 25, Final Friday art show. Gallery director Dan Click said that artists from anywhere are invited to submit up to three pieces of their original work, in any medium and on any subject, for the gallery’s open show. Click reminded those interested in submitting work that all art must be tagged with the artist’s name, the title, medium, and the price – or marked NFS if not for sale. Submissions must also be ready to hang or display, but the gallery has sawtooth hangers available as needed. Click said Gallery volunteers are also glad to help with presentation needs.
Work may be dropped off on July 19 and 21, between 10 am and 2 pm. While there is no entry fee, a 20 percent commission fee to help fund the GGAC will be deducted from any art sales.
Four awards will also be presented during the show, including the People’s Choice Award, GGAC Board Choice, Brandon Click Art Memorial, and the Pen Lady’s Choice, each with a $50 cash prize or equivalent purchase award.
The July Final Friday show will open at 6 pm, and run until 9 pm, with musical entertainment from Redefyned.
Other upcoming events include the August Lots of Fun in the Summertime show, September will bring a duo-artist show featuring Heather Foster and Synde Salley, with entertainment from Blue Sky, and October’s annual Halloween show and sale, with music provided by From the Hills.
Click also reminds visitors – particularly for the July and August shows – to watch the weather and come dressed for the heat, while “planning on a fun evening.”
