Call for Artists for a Strand Center New Year Pop-Up Gallery Show!
The Strand Center for the Arts is excited to host a Pop-Up Gallery Exhibition for the New Year in January 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 Saturday, January 23, 2021, from 10:00 am to 3:00 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 Thursday, January 21. 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, “Our pop-up series of exhibitions during this period of uncertainty has been very popular. We started them at the end of September and have run at least one a month since then. The attendance, both by the visiting public, craving to see live art in a safe environment, and by the artists, in turn craving to have their artwork viewed by others, has been amazing. We are quite sure that this event will be no different.”
The New Year Pop-Up Gallery Exhibition will be on view in The Strand Center Main Gallery at 23 Brinkerhoff Street in Plattsburgh only on Saturday, January 23, from 10:00 am to 3:00 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.
