The Lompoc Public Library’s Grossman Gallery is calling for Central Coast artists to submit work samples to be considered for exhibition. The works will be on display within the 2018-19 calendar years.
To be considered, artists must provide a representative body of work of at least six exhibit-ready pieces that will be evaluated for technique, expression, and stylistic achievement. The evaluation will be performed by the Lompoc Public Library’s Art Advisory Committee at its meeting on Feb. 15.
In addition to the exhibits at the Grossman Gallery in the main library at 501 E. North Ave., Lompoc, a smaller continuation show will be exhibited the month following the Lompoc Library show at the Village Library in Vandenberg Village, 3755 Constellation Road.
Those who want to have their work considered should deliver the exhibit-ready (framed/finished) pieces to the Grossman Gallery between 3:15 and 3:45 p.m. on Feb. 15 and pick them up after the committee meeting ends around 5 p.m. The Art Advisory Committee will seek a balanced selection of media for exhibition. Each artist exhibition is expected to last for one to two months starting in November and running through 2019. Exhibits may include two-dimensional painting, photography, and mixed media, and must not protrude more than 6 inches from the wall when hung.
Artists must be a minimum age of 18 years old and from the Central Coast area. Possible exceptions to the age requirement would be at the Art Advisory Committee’s discretion. One- and two-person shows are welcome.
