The Gilbert Visual Art League (GVAL) invites Arizona artists to submit their original artwork for the 6th annual Fine Art Show. The show is hosted at the Gilbert Historical Museum in Gilbert, AZ and will be available for public viewing from November 8 through 22, 2208. The show is judged and juried, includes all mediums and subject matter, and features a non-juried, youth division.
This is GVAL’s second Fine Art Show for 2008. The league chose to move the show date to November so they could coordinate with the Town of Gilbert’s annual Gilbert Days celebration. Many of the club members are Gilbert residents so the change seemed like a natural choice.
Awards will be presented at the show reception on November 16, 2008. Ribbons are awarded to the top three works in each category. In addition, a cash prize is given to Best of Show and Peoples Choice winners. Renowned painter, John Cox, will judge the show. Cox has more than thirty years fine-art experience and has hosted many solo and two-man shows.
Artists interested in submitting work can download the official call for entry at the Gilbert Visual Art League website www.gval.org. All entries must be postmarked by September 27, 2008. Acceptance letters will be mailed starting on October 10, 2008.
The Gilbert Visual Art League’s goal is to create a venue for local artists to show their work and be recognized for their talents. The league strives to increase artistic awareness and appreciation in their community and surrounding areas.
