Behold the Blossom at the Wayne Art Center

 The Wayne Art Center is pleased to announce Behold the Blossom, an exhibition of
floral works which will be on display
from February 9 through March 15, 2014. 
Concentrating on the depiction of that which blooms, whether in nature,
still life or as object, Wayne Art Center is calling for entries in painting, drawing,
pastel, mixed media, ceramics, print making, glass, sculpture, metal, wood,
jewelry and fiber.  Behold the Blossom will be displayed in the Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Gallery
at the Wayne Art Center, 413 Maplewood Avenue in Wayne.  An opening reception and awards ceremony will
be held Sunday, February 9, 2014 from 3:00-5:00pm and is free and open to the
public.  Exhibition hours at the Wayne
Art Center are Monday through Saturday, from 10:00am to 5:00pm.

 

The
Behold the Blossom exhibition will
run during the Philadelphia Flower Show. 
This year’s Flower Show theme is Articulture: art's influence in
gardening. Wayne Art Center will be partnering with the Men's Garden Club of Philadelphia at the Flower show downtown while showcasing gardening’s
influence on the artistic process at home in what promises to be a spectacular and
diverse response to the inspiring blossom.

 

The jurors, painter, Paul
DuSold and sculptor, Elisabeth Nickles will select a body of work from
submissions being collected from December 1 through January 21, 2014 at www.beholdtheblossomentry.org. They will also award
prizes for distinguished works. Awards will be presented at the opening
