Gallery A3’s 10th Annual Juried Show offers local and regional artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in an active downtown gallery and in turn, gives the community a chance to discover artists who may be living just across town or several towns (or states) away. A cooperative, contemporary fine arts gallery in downtown Amherst, Gallery A3 is located in the Cinema Complex. Current members include painters, sculptors, photographers, print makers, installation artists, and mixed media artists. During its 23-year history, A3 has been home to over 60 artists, mounting monthly exhibits and offering cultural events and community collaborations. The Gallery’s opening receptions take place on the first Thursday of every month; online Art Forums, free and open to the public, are scheduled on the third Thursday of every month. The Art for Community outreach program is supported in part by grants from the Amherst and Pelham Cultural Councils, all local agencies, which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
UNITED WE STAND—Art for Divisive Times “In these divisive times, Art can ask questions and suggest answers—and help us stand together. Whether your take is satirical tongue-in-cheek or sincere heart-in-hand, here is an opportunity for you to speak through art, “explains show coordinator Paula Hite. “We are looking for work that may be overt commentary, thought-provoking, healing, contemplative, timeless, or contemporary.”
Artists, 17 and older and in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Rhode Island and Maine are invited to submit images between May 19 - June 21.
The fee is $38 for three entries, $7 for one additional entry, up to a maximum of four images.
Two dimensional art work must be no wider than 26 inches and no higher than 72 inches. Sculpture (3-D) work must not exceed 18 lbs and 26 inches in any dimension.
You will be notified of jury results in an email July 8-10.
Accepted art should be delivered to the gallery in person on Sunday, August 3, 2-7 pm or Monday, August 4, 10 am-noon. We regret we are unable to receive accepted work by mail.
