Call for Artists

Blake Gallery at the Beebe Library – ACW Exhibit

Month of February 2026

ACW Members Only

The Blake Gallery is on the main floor of the Wakefield Beebe Library near the reference desk.  It is a small gallery space that accommodates about 18 pieces with exhibits running for the month.   In the past we’ve ranged from a handful of artists who exhibit several pieces each to a single piece for 18 or so artists.....it all depends on how many artists’ express interest.  The space is not designed for large pieces.   Please respond to this email to let me and Andrea know if you’d like to participate; it will be first come/first serve sign up.  The exact artwork drop off date and time at the library is TBD; more details to be provided to participants.  The exhibit will run the whole month of February.
