WESTPORT ARTS CENTER SELECTS JUNE 27
The Westport Arts Center's SELECTS, is its eleventh annual summer member artist exhibition. Formerly known as SOLOS, SELECTS is designed to discover and showcase new works of art by talented artists in the region, and also helps new artists discover the Westport Arts Center.

The exhibition will be on view from July 14 through September 1, 2017. The jurors commented that they will be looking for work in a range of media where the execution is well-considered: “We welcome traditional subject matter, but we are particularly interested in the expression of ideas—both representational and abstract. We look forward to seeing what themes may emerge.” SELECTS will feature up to ten artists. Applicants must be members. The entry fee is $40/artist and $25 for young artists (ages 25 and under). Full submission guidelines are available here. Deadline is June 27. All artists will be notified on June 30, 2017.
