Media Release - Quest Art Inviting Artists to Participate in Exhibitions

The New Year holds multiple opportunities for artists to display their works of art at Quest Art School and Gallery.
The first exhibition of 2014 in the Atrium Gallery is Pedagogy: Classroom to Gallery.  This exhibition is open to those who have taken a Quest Art workshop within the last two years, including children and teens.
A maximum of two works can be submitted and they must have been created during, or inspired by, the Quest Art workshop.
“This exhibition marries the two main components of Quest Art’s programming which are visual arts workshops and exhibition opportunities for all ages and skill levels,” said Karen Mealing, Quest Art’s operations coordinator. 
Works in the Pedagogy exhibition do not need to be framed, nor do they need to be for sale.  Those interested in submitting work for consideration for display must deliver their pieces to Quest Art on Jan. 13 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The exhibition, sponsored by the County of Simcoe, takes place from Jan. 17 to March 1, with an opening reception on Jan. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Quest Art has also issued an open call to Canadian artists working in any visual arts medium for their 10th Annual Juried Art Show.
This year the panel of jurors includes internationally-known artist John Hartman, Matthew Macintosh, curator at the Orillia Museum of Art and History, and Luci Dilkus, a textile artist and owner of Le Studio Gallery.
Artists may enter a maximum of two submissions for the jurors’ consideration.
The entry fee is $30 per artist and the jurors’ will award three awards of $200 each and at the end of the exhibition a $100 People’s Choice award will be presented.
The deadline for applications is Feb. 3 and the exhibition takes place from March 7 to Apr. 26.  The opening reception and awards presentation will take place on March 7 from 7 to 9 p.m.
For more information on either of these exhibitions or visual arts workshops, visit www.questart.ca or call 705-526-ARTS (2787).
