HCA Call for Art for Arts in Bloom Exhibition

The Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) is issuing a call for art for its annual Arts in Bloom  exhibition that will take place April 6 – 27 at the HCA Gallery.  Arts in Bloom is an annual, juried exhibit sponsored by the Cultural Arts Alliance that showcases new and exciting work created by artists living and working in New England.  Once again the Hopkinton Garden Club will be providing one-of-a-kind floral arrangements to complement the prize-winning artwork.  Works do not have to have a floral component but should reflect this theme in imagery, color, design or conceptual elements.

This year’s exhibition is being juried by Arthur Dion of Gallery NAGA in Boston.  First prize is $400, second prize is $200 and third prize is $100.  There will also be three $50 awards of merit.  Online submissions are due by March 21, 2012.

“The Arts in Bloom exhibit gives artists a unique opportunity to show their perspectives on the floral theme in a very lively and colorful event,” said Kris Waldman, director of the CAA.  “This exhibit has become a favorite way for many people to welcome the beginning of spring and the inspirational beauty of that season.”

All 2D media, including photography, as well as 3D work that can be hung on a wall and does not protrude more than 10 inches will be accepted.  More information and a link to online registration are available at www.caahop.org.
