Today is the last day for local artists to drop off their submissions at the Little Compton Historical Society for possible inclusion in the society's new book on Little Compton History. Over 50 artists are participating and submissions include paintings, sculpture, quilts, hand-woven rugs, even jewelry. The following day, all of the submissions will be reviewed by a three person jury who will select approximately 14 works of art to illustrate "The History of Little Compton, A Home by the Sea, 1820-1954" written by Janet Lisle and published by the Little Compton Historical Society. The book will be available to the public this July. All submitted work will be exhibited at the Wilbor House Museum this summer and will be available for sale.
Historical Society volunteers will be available to receive art from 9 to 5 on Friday. Artists who are interested in participating should e-mail lchistory@littlecompton.org for an invitation. Though Friday is the last day for consideration by the jury, all work submitted by June 4 will be exhibited this summer.
