The Westport Arts Center announces a new call for entries by Friday, June 6 for the Studio Gallery, an alternative exhibition space in the Westport Arts Center gallery on 51 Riverside Avenue. The Studio Gallery provides an opportunity for regional artists to have a thematic solo exhibition. Artists can submit work or submit a proposal to create a site specific show in this alternative exhibition space.

Benefits of a Studio Gallery solo exhibition include a studio visit and help hanging show by WAC administrative staff, publicity in area newspapers, inclusion on WAC website and in promotional email blasts, and an opening reception in conjunction with another opening or social event in the main gallery.

Westport Arts Center will schedule accepted artists in one-month exhibitions through the fall and winter of 2008 and spring of 2009. A small jury committee, Cecilia Fradet, Peggy Weis and Pat Kery, will review the work and select artists.

Applications are due June 6, 2008 (postmarked). More details, in addition to the entry form, can be downloaded from the Westport Arts Center website: www.westportartscenter.org.
