Art for AIDS 2015 Artist Registration Form

Dear artists, On Saturday, June 6, 2015, AIDS Connecticut (ACT) will hold our annual Art for AIDS fundraiser at Hartford ArtSpace. We are recruiting up to 100 artists to again participate in this event. The funds will benefit ACT and a portion will go to ACT’s Endowment Fund: The Richard B. Fried Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. 
Here's how it will work: ACT will provide each artist with a 12" x 12" canvas (limit of three canvases per artist). Canvases will be ready for pick up at Jerry’s Artarama in West Hartford starting on April 4, 2015 (please don't try to pick them up before then). Artists will create art on the 12" x 12" canvases and deliver them to ArtSpace on Thursday, June 4 from 3:00 - 7:30 p.m. Alternatively, they can be delivered to ACT at 110 Bartholomew Ave, Suite 3050 in Hartford anytime before June 4. Please call Wendy before you come (860) 402-8790. We can arrange art pick ups if needed - just give us notice ASAP.
The 12" x 12" works will be direct donations to ACT. However, for each 12" x 12" canvas donated, the artist will be able to show one of their existing artworks (size 4' x 5' max per piece), that can be available for sale in the exhibit. Artists will receive 90% of the proceeds from the sale of these pieces, while ACT will receive 10%.

The 10th Annual Crossing the Bridge Juried Exhibition

Works in all medias are accepted for this juried show. We're proud to have D. Samuel Quigley, Director of the Lyman Museum, as this year's guest juror.

The concept of Crossing the Bridge is an attempt to get people out for art and out of their comfort zone.  In Southeastern Connecticut, everyone's excuse for not getting out to local events many times comes back to the bridges and rivers that divide our towns. This exhibition is an attempt to get people to cross the bridge literally as well as to motivate artists to become involved on our side of the river. It is an opportunity for new artists from across other bridges to get involved with the exciting things happening at the Hygienic Galleries and in downtown New London. Every year we have a different juror. Every Juror looks for different things so it is always interesting to see what makes the cut. We hope you'll consider submitting your work for consideration.
