Ephraim, Wis. (January 17, 2023) – The Hardy Gallery is excited to announce a Call for Artists for the popular Community Mosaic Project. People of all ages and creative backgrounds are encouraged to participate! This project aims to bring the community together to create a visual tapestry of public art and this year marks the 17th Anniversary of the mosaic project. We are thrilled to once again offer FREE 6×6 canvases to the public, which have been generously donated by the Artists Guild 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 artworks should fit neatly on a 6×6 canvas with minimal installation difficulty accompanied by a completed Artist Statement form. Limit one canvas per participant.
FREE Canvases are available now at The Artists Guild in Sturgeon Bay, hours Monday – Saturday (Closed Tuesdays) 10 am-5 pm, Sunday 11 am-4 pm, (215 N 3rd Ave), and the Hardy Gallery starting May 24 (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 or the Artists Guild by June 23, finished or unfinished. The grand unveiling of the Community Mosaic Wall will be at the Hardy Gallery in Ephraim, beginning July 12, and runs in conjunction with the Collection Invitational and Collectors Choice Benefit, on display from July 12 – August 25, 2024.
