Quincy Art Center announces open call for art exhibit called ‘Connections’

QUINCY — The Quincy Art Center has announced an open call for its upcoming art exhibit, themed “Connections.” An open call is an invitation for artists and collectors of all levels to submit their work for display in a public exhibition. Artists of all mediums, as well as collectors of art, are invited to respond.

This exhibit is an opportunity for artists and collectors to contribute and engage with the community through the creation and sharing of art. All responses to the theme are welcome. Artists are encouraged to express themselves freely and creatively, regardless of their preferred medium. Additionally, The Art Center is looking to include artworks from private collectors to provide a diverse and rich viewing experience.

To enrich the viewer’s experience and deepen the connection between the artist or collector and the audience, The Art Center is encouraging the inclusion of a written statement or story about the artwork and what about the piece represents “Connections,” for the artist or collector. These personal insights will help convey the inspiration and meaning behind each piece, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation.

Key Dates:

• Artwork delivery: Wednesday – Saturday, Aug. 7-10, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
• Opening reception: Friday, Aug. 23, from 7 to 9 p.m.
