PULASKI, NY – Artists are invited to submit their art to this year’s “Hooked on the Salmon River” juried and themed show at the Salmon River Fine Arts Center.
This annual show was created to showcase artwork from the region’s many fine artists who find inspiration from the river that runs past the art center through the small historic Village of Pulaski. The show is open to all artists, from any location working in any genre.
The only criteria is that the work submitted is themed or inspired by the Salmon River, its tributaries or wetlands. Cash prizes, including a $300 Best of Show, will be awarded based on originality, craftsmanship and adherence to the theme. The number of awards and categories will be based on the actual work accepted.
This year’s artwork will be selected by Linda Bigness, an internationally exhibiting artist, instructor and author who runs and maintains Studio 245 in Syracuse, New York.
“We are excited to have Linda jury this year’s show,” said Ann Buchau, president of the board at the Arts Center. “She has a wealth of expertise and talent.”
Submissions must be photographed and emailed to the art center no later than August 8. Once the entries are reviewed, artists will be notified of acceptance via email on August 15. Interested artists will find complete guidelines and details in the show prospectus posted on the art center website.
An opening reception is planned for Friday, September 9, from 6 – 8 pm with an award ceremony at 7 pm. The exhibit will be on display from September 9 through October 22 at the Salmon River Fine Arts Center, located at 4848 N. Jefferson St in Pulaski, NY. This is when fishing and tourism is at its peak for this small town.
