SANTA PAULA — The Ag Art Alliance is calling for entries for “The Tenth Annual Art About Agriculture,” a juried group show to be exhibited November 11, 2017 through February 25, 2018, at the Santa Paula Art Museum. The deadline for entries is September 29, 2017. The Ag Art Alliance was formed in 2007 by Santa Paula artists Gail Pidduck and John Nichols. The purpose of “Art About Agriculture” is to promote awareness of agriculture by using art to explore its many facets – from workers to water, machinery to fields, and to the food that goes on our plates. A total of $500.00 in prizes will be awarded to winners in a variety of artistic categories.
“Art About Agriculture” is open to all artists over the age of 18 working in both two and three dimensional media who create art that in some way draws its inspiration from our agricultural heritage and/or contemporary agriculture. That inspiration may include, but is not limited to, depictions of rural landscape, farm animals, farm products, and rural life. Art that in a more abstract way deals with issues and ideas related to agriculture will also be considered. To read the full prospectus, including a detailed list of entry requirements, please visit www.santapaulaartmuseum.org/artists.
