WILTON, CT — Wilton Library’s annual Summer Show art exhibition is returning for its 79th year, with a call for entries open to artists who live or work in Wilton or have ties to the town.

Artists age 21 and older may submit up to two pieces of artwork at the library on Monday, July 7, or Tuesday, July 8, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The non-juried show welcomes paintings, drawings, and sculptures, though photography is excluded due to a separate photography exhibit scheduled for later in the year. All entries except sculpture must be wired and ready to hang. Packing materials must be removed at drop-off.

The exhibition will be on view from July 9 through Aug. 21. A public opening reception is scheduled for Friday, July 18, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the library.
