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).
