Artists of all ages and levels of experience are invited to enter their Lancaster County inspired artwork in the Lancaster County Art Quilt Project at Lancaster County Art Association (LCAA), 149 Precision Ave., Strasburg. This art exhibit, contest, and fundraiser is open to professional and hobby artists age 6 and up. Prizes will be awarded in children, teen, and adult divisions. The deadline to submit artwork is Sunday, April 25.
The subject of the artwork should be a location in Lancaster County. Drawings, paintings, photography, textiles, mixed media artworks, or works in another medium can be submitted. Small 3-D works no larger than 10 inches by 8 inches will be accepted as well. Image size of any 2-D work should be 5 inches by 7 inches with a 1-inch border to allow for matting. Artists should submit work unmatted and unframed. LCAA will mat all work for uniformity and display the artwork in a quilt-like pattern in the galleries.
Artists may donate as many pieces as they wish. There is no fee for entering. Cash prizes will be awarded. Members of the public will vote for their favorite artwork for People's Choice Awards.
