Collecting Collections!

collect anything?  If so…

We’d love for you to display your collection in our next exhibition:

exaltation of larks

collecting collections

Objects of any kind welcome. The more interesting, the better.

Submission information:

Please email a photo or two of your intriguing collection with a brief (1 paragraph) description of what you collect and why.  (what about this object interests you? How did you start collecting these objects? How many do you have?  How long have you been collecting? etc.)

Email to: collectingcollections@gmail.com

Please send photo & description by Saturday, January 21, 2012 to be considered for the exhibition.  

Some collections may be very valuable or too large to show in the gallery, so your collection might be displayed in our “photos of collections” exhibit area.  Please specify to us if you are submitting for photo only so we know!

Accepted collectors will be notified by email Wednesday, January 25

The drop-off day for collections is from 2-7pm Saturday, January 28 at the City Art Center, located at 22 East Winter Street in Delaware, Ohio.  The CAC is two doors west of the Strand Theater.

Stay tuned for more opportunities to be a part of some very exciting exhibitions at the CAC this year.  For example: In April, we will be presenting ReStore Art in which 6 artists will be selected to create art using materials from the ReStore Delaware.   June's exhibit will involve artists working with area businesses to make art in response to various professions in Provocation.  Calls for Entries with more details will be posted asap!
