Call for Artists

Gallery 529 of Littleton is gearing up for its next juried art show to benefit the MSPCA –Nevins Farm. The theme of the show is “Best Friends.” Dr. Judith Herman, a veterinarian from Augusta Maine, who specializes in homeopathic medicine for animals, and is an accomplished artist, and has served as a juror for the acclaimed Harlow Gallery of Maine, will serve as a juror for this show. To see some of Dr. Herman’s wonderful artwork, check out her website.

According to Gallery Executive Director Virginia Wood, “Last year we did a fundraiser for the Nevins Farm that was as much fun as it was successful. We have 30 member artists in our cooperative and they glazed ceramic pet bowls, made by the potters in our group, that we then sold, the proceeds going to the Farm. We are doing that again this year, but have added in the juried art show. A percentage of the entry fees and sales will also benefit the farm.”

Nevins Farm, in Methuen, is a multi- service organization, operated by the MSPCA. At the Farm, one can adopt practically any type of animal, from chickens to dogs, as well as attend programs offered in dog training and behavior. Many of our member artists have also adopted animals, and as part of this effort to promote the good work of the MSPCA, and Nevins Farm, our artists will be telling the stories of their adopted animals during December.

Artists interested in participating in the show should submit jpegs to Virginia Wood. The deadline for entries is November 21. The show will run through mid-January. Details on submittal requirements can be found on the gallery’s website. The opening for the show will be Sunday, December 6, from 4 – 6 pm. Free and open to the public, it will be a great opportunity to support a worthy cause, as well as pick up a handmade gift for that someone special.
