GREEN RIVER – Two opportunities to display your creative work are available at the Sweetwater County Library.
In November and December is the Sweetwater Quilters Open Exhibit and scheduled for January and February is the Sweetwater Photo Open. Both of these open shows are annual events in the Sweetwater County Library System.
Quilters are invited to enter up to two quilted pieces such as wall hangings, crib blankets, table runners, clothing or bags no larger than 45” x 60”. The deadline is November 2nd at 5p.m. The exhibit will be hung by November 4th and run through December 30 at the SCL in Green River.
The Sweetwater Photo Open will also be at Sweetwater County Library and open on Jan. 6th through February 29th. This deadline is January 4th at 5 p.m.
The two-page entry form for both exhibits are available at the library circulation desks and at the Community Fine Arts Center. Applications will also be available online on the library’s website at www.sweetwaterlibraries.com.
The deadlines as stated above allow staff time to hang the shows before the opening days of the shows. Participants are asked to drop off their entries at the appropriate library. The exhibits are open to Sweetwater County artists who are out of high school.
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. The photographs 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. Quilts can be original or from patterns and with appropriate means to display them.
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, and library system members Michelle Maser, library manager of the White Mountain Library; Jacqueline Kramer, library manager of the Sweetwater County Library; Lindsey Travis, PR specialist and Debora Soule, CFAC director.
