Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) will be accepting entries for a permanent art collection to be displayed on all campuses as part of the college’s 50th anniversary celebration. All LCCC current students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members with an affiliation to LCCC are invited to participate. All media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, ceramics and photography will be accepted.

A maximum of three works may be entered per artist. Entries may not exceed 72 inches in any one dimension, and 50 pounds is the maximum weight for work. All watercolors, photographs, graphics and pastels must be under glass or acrylic, and all 2-D work must be framed. Upon acceptance, the artwork becomes part of the LCCC permanent collection through donation by the artists.

Images of all artwork must be submitted digitally. Digital entries must be unenhanced digital JPEG, high- resolution (300 dpi) sent via email to art50@lccc.edu. Digital entries must be no larger than 1mb (megabyte) and labeled with artist name, medium, title of work and framed dimensions in the subject line of the email.

A group of three jurors will be selecting the art which will be accepted in the permanent collection, and the artists will be notified by Monday, Feb. 22, 2016. An exhibit of accepted pieces is planned for March 10-16, 2016, with the opening reception on Thursday, March 10, 2016, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Lisa Scheller and Wayne Woodman Community Services Center, main campus in Schnecksville, Pa.
