The East End Arts Gallery is pleased to announce an open call for artist participation in the upcoming juried, all media art show, Composition, at the East End Arts Gallery, opening with a reception on Friday, June 20 and running through August 1, 2014. The call is open to all artists to submit work with a strong sense of complete composition. The guest juror for this show is Eric Brown, artist and co-owner of the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York City. The East End Arts Gallery is located at 133 East Main Street in Riverhead, NY.
Gallery Director Jane Kirkwood encourages artists: “No matter how skilled the painter, sculptor, photographer, collagist, or quilter, if the composition is ‘off’ it will never feel completely comfortable to view. Enter a piece that shows your command of this most fundamental element of good art.” Original works in all media may be submitted, including: painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, video, sculpture, and poetry; up to three entries can be submitted per artist. All submissions will be reviewed by the guest juror, who will choose select works to be included in the exhibit – the artwork that the juror feels best exemplifies the theme.
- Visual art entries will be accepted on Thursday, June 12 from 10 to 4 p.m. June 13 from 10 to 4 p.m.; and Saturday, June 14 from 10 to 3 p.m. at the East End Arts Gallery. For all size and entry requirements and details, view the full prospectus online.
- Poetry entries will be accepted online only from May 27 through June 3; for more information and to submit poems click here.

An Opening Reception will be held on Friday, June 20 from 5 to 7 p.m,, when guests will have an opportunity to meet the artists. This free event is open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
