The City of Plymouth and the Plymouth Arts Council are in the hunt for some fresh artwork. They've opened up the call for artists to submit their finest pieces for this year's Primavera juried art show, set to dazzle the public this April. Budding Picassos and seasoned brush handlers alike have until March 8 to throw their hats into the ring, according to an announcement made by the city.
Spring is in the air and so is creativity, as the free annual Primavera art exhibition gears up for its 2024 showcase. Slated for April 25-28, at the Plymouth Community Center, this event is shaping up to be a real visual treat. And for the talented artists who manage to impress the jury, a little cash reward doesn't hurt, with a Best of Show purse of $250 and other prizes ranging down to $50 for student categories. All the glory and the cash prizes were outlined on the City of Plymouth's official website.
The show isn't just throwing open its doors to anyone with a paintbrush, though. Entries are limited to two original art pieces per artist, and while the adult creators can look forward to their work adorning the Plymouth Community Center Art Gallery through June 7, the younger set will need to coordinate submissions through their school art teacher. As for the particulars of the submission process, artists must send in photographs along with their name, media, and the size of the frame strapped to their masterpiece.
What's the cost of climbing aboard this artistic endeavor? A non-refundable $30 to enter the first piece and an additional $10 for the second, payable to the Plymouth Arts Council. Consider it a small price for the chance to have your work admired by Plymouth's art enthusiasts. Following the application deadline, artists will find out if their work made the cut by March 15, giving them just over a month to fine-tune their pieces for the big show, as detailed on the event's page.
If you've got the artistic chops and you're looking to get your work out there, now’s a time. Just make sure to hit up the Plymouth website for all the nitty-gritty details and get ready to show off your skills. The public's eyes are waiting.
