Ephraim, Wis. (June 5, 2020) — The Hardy Gallery is launching a Second Call for Artists for the popular Community Mosaic Project; people from all creative backgrounds and all ages are encouraged to participate. The Community Mosaic Project was first launched in 2008 in partnership with the Artists Guild in Sturgeon Bay as a way to bring together the community and create a visual tapestry of public art. This year marks the 13th anniversary of the mosaic project and we are excited to once again offer FREE 6×6 canvases to the public, which have been generously donated by the Artists Guild, LLC in Sturgeon Bay.
The Hardy Gallery is seeking submissions of original artwork from the community; individuals, artists, students, and art enthusiasts are invited to submit work in any medium. Past submissions have included photography, three-dimensional and sculptural work, assemblages, fiber work, painting, writing, and collaborative works. All artwork should fit neatly on a 6×6 canvas with minimal installation difficulty accompanied with a completed Artist Statement form.
FREE Canvases are available now at: The Hardy Gallery Office June 2 – July 3 (Ephraim Village Hall 9996 Water Street) Monday-Friday 10am -4pm and starting July 11 at The Hardy Gallery (3083 Anderson Lane, Ephraim). Call 920-854-2210 or email info@thehardy.org for more information about canvas pick-up.
Canvases are due back to The Hardy Gallery by August 2nd (Deadline Extended) finished or unfinished. The unveiling of the Community Mosaic Wall will be at The Hardy Gallery in Ephraim, beginning Saturday, August 15. The Community Mosaic Project runs in conjunction with the Collection Invitational and Collectors Choice Benefit, on display from August 15 – September 13, 2020.
