Call for Artists for Strand Center Thanksgiving Pop-Up Gallery Show!
The Strand Center for the Arts is excited to host a Thanksgiving Pop-Up Gallery Exhibition in November and is looking for artists. This special exhibition will be held at The Strand Center Main Gallery at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh. The exhibition will open on Friday, November 20, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
All artists are eligible to enter on a first come-first served basis, with a maximum of twenty artists capable of hanging their work in the gallery for the duration of the day’s exhibit. Those artists desiring to have their work in the show may do so by contacting The Strand Gallery Director, David Monette, at david.monette@strandcenter.org by Wednesday, November 18. If selected to exhibit, those artists would then be responsible for hanging their work before the show and removing it afterward. All media will be accepted, both 2d and 3d, and all pieces must be labeled on the front and back with the artist’s name, title, price, and media. Additionally, 2d artwork must be framed and wired for hanging.
Concerning the exhibit, Gallery Director David Monette stated, “So, we did a series of pop-up shows for our artisan market at the end of September/beginning of October and it was hugely successful. We had hundreds of people come through the gallery, many of them fresh faces, and we sold a bunch of work from both the gallery and the artist store. I’m expecting a great turnout for this event as well.”
The Thanksgiving Pop-Up Gallery Exhibition will be on view in The Strand Center Main Gallery at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh only on Friday, November 20, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, and is free and open to the public. Facemasks, social distancing, and a cap on the amount of people allowed in the gallery at any one time will be strictly upheld.
