The Land Conservancy of McHenry County Opens Call for Artists for 11th Annual Art of the Land Fundraiser
Local artists are invited to submit art that is inspired by the local landscape for The Land Conservancy of McHenry County’s 11th annual Art of the Land art show and fundraiser. The event takes place Nov. 8 and 9 from 6:30-10:00 p.m. at the Starline Factory in Harvard, IL.
Since 2009, Art of the Land has raised over $130,000 to support TLC’s land preservation work in McHenry County. Thirty percent of the proceeds from art sold is retained by TLC.
Artists’ work must be consistent with the theme of “art that reflects and is inspired by the local landscape and all that it provides.” Accepted mediums include original artwork, painting, drawing and other hanging art, photography, limited edition prints, ceramics, glass, sculptural pieces, basketry, fiber, paper, metal and wood. The Best of Show award is $250 while second and third place are $100 each.

The deadline to submit work is Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019. Entries timestamped after this date will not be accepted into the show. Registration is available online at www.ArtoftheLand.org, with full rules and guidelines.
