Berks Arts Council is sponsoring the 16th annual Frank Scott Memorial Art Show: The Art of Jazz. Founded during the 2005 Berks Jazz Fest, The Art of Jazz honors legendary local jazz musician Frank Scott. The Art of Jazz exhibits annually as a prelude to the Boscov's Berks Jazz Fest. Artwork in all media may be submitted.
The theme will be "Celebrate Jazz." Entrants should express how jazz inspires and impacts art, music and the community.
The exhibition will run from Wednesday, March 18, through Thursday, April 16, in the Schmidt Gallery, located on the second floor of the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, 201 Washington St., Reading. It will be on view in conjunction with the 30th annual Boscov's Berks Jazz Fest, which will run from Friday, March 27, through Sunday, April 5. The Artists' Reception and Awards Presentation will be held on April 5 between 12:30 and 2 p.m.
Work must be hand-delivered on Thursday, March 12, or Friday, March 13. Intake will be in the Schmidt Gallery. Work should follow the exhibition theme. All media are eligible for consideration. All work must be original and made within the past three years by the person submitting the work. Works previously submitted in The Art of Jazz will not be accepted.
