Images 2018 is a juried exhibition of drawings, paintings, mixed media, photography, hand-pulled prints, watercolors, fiber, paper, and digital art. The Images exhibition is open to artists whose primary residence is in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Artists of all ages are welcome, and we especially encourage enrolled students from ages 16 through 26 to apply. Artists enter the show by submitting digital images of work created in the last three years.
The deadline to apply was May 4, 2018
The exhibition will hang in Schlow Centre Region Library throughout the month of July 2018. The Library is located on South Allen Street in downtown State College. Allen Street becomes “main street” of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts each July.
The Images 2018 exhibition is made possible in part by sponsorships from the Garbrick-Shadle Insurance Agency, The Queen Bed & Breakfast, State College Framing Company & Gallery, Central Pennsylvania Pastel Society, Schlow Library Foundation, Joyce Robinson & Norman Spivey, and the Sturtz-Davis family. We are currently seeking additional sponsors. If you are interested in learning more, contact Jennifer Shuey, Director of Development at (814) 237-3682.
