10) Call for Entry: Five Island Art Gallery, The Newfoundland Emigrant Trail, Tors Cove (NL)
Show Dates: September 18 - October 21, 2011
Being in Newfoundland is a strange and almost surreal experience, making you feel simultaneously at home abroad. You are in another country with its own complex history, and on another continent a vast ocean away from Ireland, but you keep encountering and recognizing intimate echoes of home. (Michael Coady, Carrick-on-Suir).
To celebrate the tradition and history of the visual arts, to honour the people and the place of our common ancestry, and to build on our Irish-Newfoundland and Labrador connections project of 2010, the
FiveIsland Art Gallery invites submissions for a juried exhibition of art works inspired by the story of emigration from the South East Coast of Ireland to Newfoundland during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Works submitted can include paintings, sketches, textile art and sculptures. We welcome two- and three-dimensional contemporary works that capture a piece of the story of the Newfoundland Emigrant Trail.
Jurying will take place by digital images, with selection based on
interpretation, originality and technique.
The Opening Reception is scheduled for 2:00 - 5:00 pm September 18,
2011 at the Five Island Art Gallery in Tors Cove, NL and will run until
October 21, 2011. Some of the artists, along with special guests from an Irish delegation visiting Newfoundland with the Festival of the Sea, will be in attendance.
Visit www.fiveislandartgallery.blogspot.com for regular updates on the
exhibit as they become available.
