Calling all artists! The Floraphile Garden Club of Cranford is hosting its first annual fundraising art show and sale with the help and support of Cranford’s The Artist Framer. Stephanie Lalor of The Artist Framer on North Avenue has graciously contributed her time, space and talent to this exciting fundraising event. We are looking for artists, professional and amateur, to submit original paintings of floral and garden-themed two-dimensional works of art for a May show and sale. The show will hang from May 1 through May 31st, with an opening reception for the artists and public on Friday, May 4 from 6-8PM at The Artist Framer. There will also be a student section, where our future artists can exhibit their talents. Works must be limited to the following mediums: oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic and encaustic. All submitted pieces must be original-no giclees please.
Please visit www.artistframer.com and click on Artist Announcements for specific submission information. The deadline for JPEG submission is 12 AM on March 21, 2012. There is no fee for submission and you may submit up to two entries. All submissions must adhere to posted requirements. We look forward to much community support and involvement.
