This is the fifth year for the Great Hollow Photographers Club Juried Painting and Photography Show. Over the past four years we have raised more than $5,000 for Great Hollow Nature Preserve and we hope you will join us for this fifth year of fundraising. The show will be both virtual and in person in the barn at Great Hollow. Artists are invited to submit up to four (4) digital images of 2-dimensional work for the competition (media includes photographs, paintings, collage, and drawings). There is no cost to submit. The hanging fee for the show is $15 for each accepted work and the Great Hollow Photographers Club will retain a 25% commission on all works sold during the show. All works must be for sale as the proceeds from the Art Show support Great Hollow Nature Preserve’s mission of environmental education, research, and conservation.
Jurors for the artwork are Sylvia Hierro for painting and Neil Zobler for photography. Prizes for first, second and third place for both painting and photography will be donations from local businesses. Accepted artwork will be posted on a website and the work will also be hung at Great Hollow. Additionally: winners and honorable mentions will be invited to participate in a follow-up physical and virtual show at the Sherman Library in Sherman, CT in late summer. The subject of all works must be of nature found within Great Hollow Nature Preserve and the surrounding area.
For each image, please submit a statement of 40 words or less explaining why the subject inspired you. The largest framed dimension of any work should not exceed 30 inches. All images must be securely wired from side to side for hanging: i.e., no saw-tooth hangers. We will take every caution with the artwork. The artist understands that Great Hollow Photographers Club does not provide insurance for loss or breakage and that the artist must provide this insurance if desired.
