Local photographers have now posted several photos for Allied Artists to choose from. Artists are free to pick one to reinterpret in whatever media is desired.
1. Choose your inspiration from any of the photographs in this Google Drive folder
2. Notify Ken Cotlar, exhibit coordinator, of your choice.
Email: kcpc69@comcast.netPhone or text : 814-241-2947Ken will confirm your selection and reserve your entry in the exhibition.
3. Complete your work by May 18, 2020 for receiving at SAMA Pasquirella Center.
The original photo will hang side by side the artist's rendition for the show.
The show will be exhibited at SAMA Pasquerilla and hang through July 31st.
This will be an open entry show with no entry fee so no juror and no awards. We will, most likely have a reception / get together for both organizations. Depending on participation and space limitations there may be no more than 2 art selections for each photo, so it will be first one submitted.
