A CALL FOR ARTISTS
Chestertown RiverArts - Open Juried Fine Art Show

The former Chestertown Arts League's Annual Open Juried Art Show had a run of 64 shows through April of 2012, bringing together fine works of art from regional artists in Eastern Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Following the merger of the Arts League with Chester River Artworks to form Chestertown RiverArts, the new organization is proud to continue this tradition with the first annual Chestertown RiverArts Open Juried Fine Art Show. The new show is scheduled for September 2013 and will be mounted in RiverArt's new galleries in downtown Chestertown, MD. All artists residing in the United States and Canada are eligible.
Registration for the show will be done on-line via the RiverArts web site, www.chestertownriverarts.org, and images of work will be submitted via email at registration. The registration period is open May 15 through June 29 and accepted works will be announced in early August. Mediums of works acceptable for the show include: all painting mediums on paper, board and canvas including pastel, mixed mediums and collage; drawings and hand-pulled prints; photography; and sculpture and other 3D works. The work must be original and completed in the past 24 months (i.e. May 2011 or later). Please refer to the RiverArts web site for show news, the detailed call for artists and registration instructions.
