LAA members can bring their latest creations to the monthly meetings. The piece of art receiving the most votes at the meeting is displayed at Leominster City Hall.
Westford Parish Center for the Arts invites artists to submit work for consideration for solo and group exhibitions based on a September to June schedule. The deadline for submission for September 2020 to June 2021 is Wednesday April 8,2020. If accepted, the artist(s) will display their work for one month. The PCA Gallery operates like a cooperative gallery where the gallery space is provided and guidance given to the artist for making a successful exhibition. The artist is responsible for most publicity, hanging, hosting a reception (if desired) and gallery sitting. The artist retains 80% of all sales. To be considered, submit 8-10 images on CD or via email (.jpg files). For each image include the title, dimensions and media. In addition, include a brief artist biography including the artist email, address and phone number. To email submissions, send to [email protected]. Visit the PCA website.
