Deadline for New River Valley Artists to submit their entires for our annual community art exhibit, Menagerie.
Menagerie is one of the Fine Arts Center’s most popular exhibits as it features a variety of different types of art created by many different artists from across the New River Valley. We look forward to inviting NRV artists to participate in this community exhibit.
Eligibility: Menagerie is open to all artists of the New River Valley who are 18 years or older. Entered works must have been created in the past year and must be original, hand-crafted, and ready for display. Mass-produced kit assembly other than that of their own creation will not be accepted. All work represented by the FACNRV should be of the finest quality and representative of artists’ talents. Oil, watercolor, fiber arts, photography, mixed media, sculpture, digital and other forms of art are all welcome. Please contact us if you have any questions.
All framed and other hanging artwork must be ready to hang safely and securely with wire across the back. Exceptions will be made for pieces that are too heavy to wire across the back. In that case, pieces must have the appropriate hanging hardware installed. No sawtooth hangers will be allowed. Sculptures and other 3D work may be placed on stands, tables, or the floor. The Center reserves the right to make decisions regarding the pieces to be shown. No Artwork may be removed before the close of the exhibition.
