Central Coast artists can submit samples of their work for a chance to be displayed in two galleries at Lompoc libraries.
The Lompoc Public Library Art Advisory Committee will evaluate the submissions during its meeting on Sept. 18. The committee is looking for representative bodies of work, consisting of at least six original pieces that are ready for exhibition, according to the committee. Artists should consider technique, expression, and style. The media can range from photography to painting and mixed media but cannot stick out more than 6 inches from the wall. Two-person shows are also welcome.
Winners of the contest will see their work at the Grossman Gallery in the Lompoc Library and at the Village Library in Vandenberg Village, according to the city. Exhibits will be on display for up to two months.
To be considered, artists should drop off their framed and finished pieces at the Grossman Gallery (501 E. North Ave. in Lompoc) between 4 and 4:45 p.m. on Sept. 18. Artists can pick up their works after the meeting ends at 5:45 p.m.
