HIP 2B SQUARE RETURNS!

Hip to Be Square 2015

Every spring, we open our gallery to member and non-member artists of all levels of experience for our annual community exhibition, Hip 2B Square. Anyone, from the beginning artist to the seasoned professional, has the opportunity to unleash their creativity on a 12"x 12" canvas or wood panel.The only requirement is that the art work fit within the boundaries of the canvas or wood panel and that sculptures not exceed 12" in height.
 
The results, always exciting, reflect the interests and abilities of the show participants. A wide variety of arts styles and mediums are represented in the exhibit including, 3D sculpture, mosaic, mixed media, painting, and assemblage. 

The participants, some of whom are showing in a gallery for the first time, benefit from the enjoyment of participating in this community show. Sequoia benefits as well; the funds raised from the event help Sequoia continue to bring quality art and art programming to the community throughout the year.

Don't forget to pick up a ballot and cast your vote for your favorites! Prizes have been generously donated by Colours Framing and Art Supply and Dick Blick Art Supplies.
