Helen Day Art Center
FOR ARTS SAKE

Deadline for application is Tuesday, May 30 at 5 PM.

Helen Day Art Center
21st Annual FOR ARTS SAKE
Jackson Arena
Stowe, Vermont
Saturday and Sunday, August 26 and 27, 2006

Every artist, whether or not he/she has exhibited at FOR ARTS SAKE previously is asked to provide 5 images with their application. The images can be slides, hard copy photos or prints, or CD. The work will be juried by a panel comprised of:

HDAC Exhibitions Director Jacquie Mauer
Two HDAC Visual Arts Committee members, Sarah Finley and Idoline Duke
Stowe Community Members Sandy Noble, artist and Director of Green Mountain Fine Arts Gallery, and Tari Swenson, artist and Co-Director of the West Branch Gallery.
The panel will be moderated by Elena Foster, HDAC’s Events and Sponsorship Coordinator.
Jack Benoze, Festival Chair, will oversee the proceedings.


The jury process will be ANONYMOUS, in other words, the artists’ identities will not be known to the jurors. Their goal will be to put together a show that reflects a diversity of styles, supporting both artists who are both veterans and rookies. All mediums are welcome, and artists are encouraged to submit images of the kind of work they will show at For Arts Sake.

The deadline for artist applications is Tuesday, May 30 at 5 PM. Notification to artists will be mailed out by Thursday, June 15, and material submitted by the artist will be returned on that day if a self-addressed, stamped envelope is provided.

For Art's Sake welcomes emerging and veteran artists alike. All mediums are welcome. Application can be downloaded at www.helenday.org or requested by calling 253-8358. For more information go to the website or contact Jack Benoze at (802) 253- 9203 or email Jackb@stoweaccess.com.
