Person to Person: An exhibition of portraits by photographic artists. April 1 through May 7, 2010

ArtsWestchester, Westchester’s premier arts organization, is exploring Portraiture as seen through the photographic lens.

We seek images that capture the persona or inner essence of a person. The style of these portraits may range from sharp realism to abstraction, as long as they relate to the character and personality of the subject.

Photographic portraits may be in any size or style. Intimate to outrageous. Abstract to realistic. New as well as old work will be accepted.

The exhibit, curated by Ken Marsolais, Marc Weinstein and John O’Donnell, will be held in the Grand Banking Room Gallery at ArtsWestchester in downtown White Plains, April 1- May 7, 2010
All accepted works must be delivered gallery ready; either framed or unframed. ArtsWestchester will consider alternate display methods; subject to curatorial approval. Artists may choose to put their work up for sale. Artwork for sale is subject to a 30% gallery commission.
Entries are due by Monday, February 15th.
Please send your contact information along with low resolution jpegs by email to: marc@colorgroup.com
Selections will be made by Monday, March 1st.

Accepted works must be delivered on or before Monday, March 15th to:
Daryl Cooper at ArtsWestchester, 31 Mamaroneck Avenue 3rd Floor, White Plains, NY 10601 914.428.4220 x278

ArtsWestchester

ArtsWestchester provides programs and services that enrich Westchester: our grants help fund concerts, exhibitions and plays; we bring artists into schools and community centers; we advocate for the arts and build audiences through our marketing initiatives.
