Inspired by the Susquehanna
The Cultural Council of Luzerne County is pleased to announce our Third
Annual Juried Exhibition. The tradition of the CCLC Annual Exhibition began
when the Cultural Council mounted a VIP exhibition
in honor of the Governor’s Awards for the Arts
which was held in Wilkes-Barre for the first time in June of 2006.
The theme of this year’s competition promotes the power of artistic expression to enhance
awareness and stewardship of the Susquehanna River Watershed.
Work does not have to depict the river in any way, nor must it
conform to the theme in order to be considered.
Artist must be a resident of PA, NY or MD. Original
work must have been created within the past three (3) years. A maximum of
three pieces may be submitted and there is a $20 entry fee for each piece
of work.
Work will be accepted in three categories:
Painting:
Oil, acrylic, watercolors, or mixed media, painted on
a two-dimensional surface.
Photography:
Black & white or color (digital or film) photography.
Works on Paper:
Prints, drawings, pastels or mixed media on paper.
Selection
Juror: ROB EVANS
