A Juried Art Show
July 3-28 at the Arts Alliance Gallery
Gourd art at it’s finest!
Submission information and entry form
The NMGS is looking for gourd artists that would like to display their work in our “first ever” gallery show. This will be a juried art show at the Arts Alliance Gallery at Lomas and San Mateo in Albuquerque running from July 3-28, 2008. This will be an exciting gallery experience for all of our members and a wonderful chance to exhibit their finest gourd work. We would like, and appreciate, entries from all of our members as we are hoping to give the public a unique and diverse show, including both functional and artistic gourd creations. Everything from gourd bowls and vessels, figures, masks, free-form pieces, musical instruments, etc., will be considered for entry into the show.
The NMGS applied to the Arts Alliance Gallery in August of 2007 to be considered for a gourd art show with them and happily, we were accepted. This is an honor to be accepted and allowed to do a show completely of gourd art and gourd-related creations. They do monthly shows from many different art groups, but this will also be their FIRST show entirely of gourd work. We owe it to them and, to ourselves, to put on the finest show possible and are counting on your participation to make that happen! We are looking forward to our members submitting work so that we have a gallery full of wonderful examples of gourd pieces.
Call Kitty Riordan at 890-1828 (evenings), if you have additional questions or need further information.
Let’s get busy and show Albuquerque what our gourd fascination is all about!!!! |
