PRESS RELEASE FROM HAYWOOD COUNTY ARTS COUNCIL:
The Haywood County Arts Council invites interested artists to submit applications for inclusion in monthly gallery exhibits or retail spaces. To aid in this process, the Haywood County Arts Council (HCAC) will host a workshop followed by a Q&A about applying to an arts jury. Information on digital photos, how to write an artist’s statement, submitting work to a jury, and learning from the jurors comments about your work, are a few of the topics that will be covered. The workshop will be held August 28th at 1:00 p.m. at 86 N. Main St. Waynesville. If you plan to apply for the HCAC jury, or are interested in knowing how to apply for galleries and shows in general, we encourage you to sign up for the class. The class is free, but space is limited. Please RSVP to Info@HaywoodArts.org.
The HCAC is accepting applications for monthly shows in the gallery. A separate application can be made to have your work shown in the Gift Shop for a 6 month span. Organizations may submit applications for monthly gallery exhibits as well. All materials are available at HaywoodArts.org under Call for Work, or paper copies may be picked up in the gallery at 86 N. Main Street, Waynesville, during business hours. Applications are due October 15, 2016, by 5:00 p.m. The jury will convene and make selections in November for several exhibits in 2017 as well as retail artists. Applicants will be notified of their status in December.
More information is available at HaywoodArts.org/call-for-artists.
