GREEN RIVER – Artists who work in a small scale have an opportunity to display their creative work. The Small Works Exhibit will be on display at the Sweetwater County Library in Green River from November 17 through January 3rd.
Artists are invited to submit their work for this exhibit until Friday, November 14th at the library. The exhibit is designed for paintings with an image size no smaller than 4 inches x 6 inches and maximum of 9 inches by 12 inches. Applicants may submit an unlimited number of two-dimensional original works, including paintings, drawings, prints or collages for the exhibit. Please note that photographs or crafts are not part of the Small Works show.
The one-page application for the exhibit is available at the three main libraries’ circulation desks and at the Community Fine Arts Center. Applications are also available online on the Sweetwater County Library System website at www.sweetwaterlibraries.com.
The Exhibits Committee of the Library System developed the guidelines for the exhibits displayed in the county libraries, which is included on the application forms. Paintings and drawings must be original work by the artist. Copy work is not acceptable. The “composition” of the piece needs to be derived from the artist’s own photograph or imagination. Work must be framed, ready to hang with wire or saw-tooth hangers and identified on the back with labels which are included in the application.
The Committee meets throughout the year to review applications and schedule exhibits. Artists interested in displaying their work are encouraged to submit an application for an individual exhibit. Application packets are available at any county library circulation desk and at the Community Fine Arts Center.
The Exhibits Committee is made up of community members Angie Bennett, Deon Quitberg and Donna Ragsdale, all from Green River, Marylu Schock of Rock Springs, and library system members Michelle Maser, library manager of the White Mountain Library; Jacqueline Kramer, library manager of the Sweetwater County Library; Lyndsey Travis, public relations specialist; and Debora Soule, director of the Community Fine Arts Center.
The Small Works Art Show is sponsored by the Sweetwater County Library System. For more information about these exhibits and other library events, visit the Library System web page http://www.sweetwaterlibraries.com or on Facebook www.facebook.com/sweetlibraries or call Debora Soule at the CFAC.
