OPEN CALL: Happy Little Trees
Juried photography open call – Submission deadline is March 20th, 2022
For this photographic artist opportunity, the gallery is seeking works that, as with the exhibit’s title, attempt to evoke the spirit of artist Bob Ross. He encouraged millions to explore their personal creativity and ‘happy little trees’ were a foundation for many of his artistic works. In this exhibit, the displaying artists will point their creative focus to trees in all of their many forms, whether they be happy or sad trees, big or small trees, or trees standing quietly alone against a landscape or trees as part of a mightly forest.
Venue for ‘Happy Little Trees’:
Westfield Mall
Bay Shore, NY
The Islip Arts Council is dedicated to leadership, advocacy, and excellence in the arts.
We present, produce and promote culturally responsive, high-quality programs in varied artistic disciplines for our diverse population. Our goal is to facilitate these programs in response to the needs of the Long Island community. The Islip Arts Council was created in 1974. Two years later, Lillian Barbash was named chairperson, and the Islip Arts Council was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit arts organization.
We invite you to participate in this juried open call.
