Dear Square One Artists,
Once again I want to thank you all for contributing to our first Square One Fundraiser and Exhibition.
We now have over 120 artists taking part in the exhibition and nearly 300 artworks. We are not accepting any new artworks or artists, we have closed our intake of artwork and are no longer accepting artist information for the visual materials. Thanks to all those who wanted to be included.
Due to the volume of artworks we will likely not be able to display all the pieces we accepted. Many of you brought extra pieces to us and we had many last minute submissions. We will display as much as we can. All artists who dropped of artwork will be included. If we need to reduce our volume we will do so by jury decision and ensure that we retain all accepted artists and at least one of their works.
We hope to see you all at the Opening Reception on Thursday June 7 from 6 to 9 pm. We really hope you can make it to this event to meet the gallery staff, the public and each other. This will be the first reveal of the artwork. There will be wine and non-alcoholic beverages available as well as treats and nibbles. Please see our front desk when you first arrive if you would like a name badge to wear. Attendance at the opening is free and open to the public so please invite your friends and family.
The Jury’s Choice winner will be posted prior to doors opening at 6pm. Visitors will be able to vote by ballot for their favourite piece up until 8pm (People’s Choice). After the votes are counted (at approximately 8:30pm) prizes will be awarded to the Jury’s Choice and People’ Choice winning artists. Runners up will receive honorable mentions.
There are still tickets left for the June 16th event.
I look forward to seeing you all and celebrating this great exhibition.
Kind regards,
---------
