Ephraim, Wis. (January 21, 2022) — The Hardy Gallery is launching a Call for Artists for the very 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 15th 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. Limit one canvas per participant.
FREE Canvases are available now at: The Artists Guild, LLC in Sturgeon Bay, hours Tuesday- Saturday 10 am-5 pm, Sunday 11 am-4 pm (215 N 3rd Ave) and, the Hardy Gallery starting May 28 (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 26, finished or unfinished. The grand unveiling of the Community Mosaic Wall will be at the Hardy Gallery in Ephraim, beginning July 16 and runs in conjunction with the Collection Invitational and Collectors Choice Benefit, on display from July 16 – August 28, 2022.
