Sunflowers follow the light and are said to symbolize peace, optimism, and happiness. In the spirit of Spring and looking forward to Summer, Village Arts is inviting artists to display their sunflower inspired artwork from April 16 through June 3 under the theme of Here Comes The Sun!

To enter, please send an E-mail to kennebel@villageartsframing.com , call (505)661-2526, or drop by a note any time before April 15th with the following information for each entry:

Name/ Title/  Size/  Price/ Medium/  Charity/

Artwork may be marked “for sale” or “not for sale (NFS)”. If artwork is marked as for sale, Village Arts will retain a 10% commission, and the artist will receive 90% of the sales price marked for each entry below. Village Arts is lowering their commission in order to encourage artists to give to a charity and to spread the light! If you would like to include the name of a charity on the artwork’s tag, please feel free to fill in the name below.  

Artwork must be smaller than 30” x 30”, and able to hang from the wall by a hanging system that is at least 1” wide. Artists are invited to submit up to 2 pieces, and all pieces will be accepted until the gallery space is full. Village Arts has the capacity to include at least 20 pieces, so space is limited.  Reaching out with an entry serves to reserve a space, so please don’t wait!
