Tue, 08/14/2018 - 12:00pm

The Kefauver Studio & Gallery, Damariscotta, is calling for artists to participate in the “Monhegan Days” art exhibit. This is the fourth show of the 2018 season, and runs from Sept. 14 to Oct. 7.  The show will highlight Monhegan’s special magic, its architecture, and natural wonders. Submitted works should be in keeping with that theme.

Each submitted work must be an original creation, and all mediums will be considered, including oil, watercolor, acrylic, gouache, photographs, sculpture, and hand-pulled prints. All work must be professionally presented and ready for hanging or displaying (framed or painted edges, wired for hanging). Pedestals are available for 3-dimensional work.

Several artists will be selected to present their work at the show. To enter, submit up to 5 works in jpg form via email to: will@kefauverstudio.com.  Deadline for submission is Sunday, Sept. 2 and drop-off of accepted work will be Monday, Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is no fee for entering, but a $15 fee will be charged to cover all accepted works to help with exhibition costs.
 
The artist may price the work as he/she likes, but the work should be priced reasonably for sale. No NFS works will be accepted. All sales and sales taxes will be handled by the Gallery, as will shipping, if necessary. In the event of a sale, the artist will be notified and may, but isn’t required to, replace the work sold. The Gallery will retain a commission of 35 percent.
 
An Artists’ Reception, open to the public, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

For questions about the “Monhegan Days” show or for information on how to submit your work, please contact Will Kefauver at 207-226-0974, or will@kefauverstudio.com. The Kefauver Studio & Gallery is located at 144 Bristol Road, Damariscotta, and is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:00 am – 6:30 pm.
