Call for Art:
The ACW presents “Tell Me a Story” Art Exhibit and Sale coming to the Albion Cultural Exchange
Month of April 2024
Open to ACW members and friends, and local artists
The Tell Me a Story theme is purposely open-ended allowing the artistic freedom to express unique perspectives, emotions, and experiences in a visual medium.
New! Two Special Exhibits:
Sketchbook Exhibit: 1 night only on opening night, 5/5:
Call for Sketchbooks is Open
For some artists, part of their creative process are their sketchbooks that tell a bit of their artistic story.
For this exhibit, we are asking those artists who are comfortable with others seeing and handling their sketchbooks, to have the sketchbooks on display for opening night of the exhibit.
If you are interested, please register via email with Andrea Willey at gocco@me.com.
If you are registered for the Tell Me a Story exhibit, please bring your sketchbooks when you drop off your Tell Me a Story artwork.
If you are not registered for the Tell Me a Story exhibit, please arrange a time with Andrea.
Artists and Authors Exhibit:
The submission deadline is closed for this exhibit.
This special exhibit is a new collaboration between the ACW and The Room to Write group and consists of poems and short written pieces from local writers that are inspired by artwork from local and ACW artists.
For Registration/Details:
Refer to the ACW website for more details, including exact dates, registration information, the special exhibit submission, and artist pop up sale opportunities.
