Entry Deadline: Jan. 15, 2008 postmarked by Jan 15th is fine.
Brookgreen Gardens is a National Historic Landmark with the most significant collection of figurative sculpture, in an outdoor setting, by American artists in the world. Founded in 1931, it was America's first public sculpture garden. The collection currently contains over 900 works spanning the entire period of American sculpture from the early 1800s to the present.
SC Watermedia Society (formerly SC Watercolor Society) will partner with Brookgreen Gardens for an exhibit that is also a part of the 2008 juried exhibition event, which includes the 31st Annual Exhibition at Franklin Burroughs-Simeon Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach and the annual painting workshop at Litchfield Beach Resort. SCWS will host a reception for this exhibit on Oct. 24, which is the same weekend of the opening of our 31st Annual Exhibition in Myrtle Beach.
In conjunction with a scheduled sculpture exhibit by Brookgreen Gardens entitled, Flights of Fantasy: Birds in Sculpture and Hoof Beats and Heroes: Horses in American Sculpture, SC Watermedia Society will exhibit paintings to accompany the sculpture. Paintings need to reflect the theme of the sculpture exhibits. Interpretation to the theme is open but abstracted work with imagery that reflects the theme work is preferred.
Robin Salmon, Brookgreen Gardens Curator & VP of Collections, will select the artists. Your entry is a sample of your work. Paintings (entry samples) do not need to match the themed exhibit but rather show the type of work that you do. Once artists are selected, SCWS will send out notification letters with details, i.e. framing, sizes (maximum 30” x 40” framed), number of paintings per artists (could be 1 – 6) and delivery procedures. Selected artist will then paint specifically for this themed exhibition. All paintings must be for sale. Commission rate is 30%. Entries accepted from SCWS current members only. Join Now!
