Wallflowers: An Exhibit & Competition
September 1-30
The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit digital images of their 2D or 3D art works for consideration for its Wallflowers: An Exhibition and Competition.
Wallflowers focuses on the beauty of flowers – from big lush peonies and perfect roses to the smallest snowdrops and dandelions, few things evoke more memories or encompass more symbolism. We long for the first flowers of spring in our gardens and they commemorate special occasions and holidays throughout the year. Show us the flowers that you love – rolling meadows, formal gardens, a single bud in a vase or enough to fill a room.
All work must be original. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from August 27 – September 30.
MEDIUM
Any medium, including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, drawings, mixed media, photography, collage or sculpture with pedestal. (NO COPIES, REPRODUCTIONS OR GICLEES PLEASE)

Best of The Art Guild 2017-2018
July 21 – August 25
The art has been picked up from our very successful Members Showcase and we realized – Oh, no! The walls are bare! – and we HATE bare walls!
Award winners of The Art Guild’s exhibitions from September 2017-June 2018 are invited to be a part of a special exhibit: The Best of The Art Guild, which will be on view from July 21 through August 26.
Please bring a piece of your artwork on any of the following days:
• July 9, 11 or 12, 9 am – 3 pm
• July 13 – 15, 9:30 am – 4:30 pm
• July 16 – 20, 9 am – 3 pm
The work may be new (it won’t count as “previously exhibited at The Art Guild” for future exhibits) or may have been shown at The Art Guild in the past. Artwork should be no bigger than 36” in any direction.
Good afternoon everyone,
We regret to tell you that we are unable to hold the reception for The Best of The Art Guild on Sunday, August 26. As you know, parking is a premium here at Elderfields and we were unable to secure a parking waiver for the boulevard. The gallery will be open from 1-5pm. We apologize for the change in plans and hope that things will work out better next year.
Pick up for “Best of” and drop off for “Wallflowers” will be from 3-5pm on Sunday, August 26, and 5-7 on Monday, Aug 27.

Going Green: Celebrate the Earth!
March 31 – April 29
The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit digital images of their 2D or 3D art works for consideration for its Going Green: Celebrate the Earth Exhibition and Competition.
Join us in honoring our late member, Myra Fox as we celebrate Earth Day. A committed environmentalist and chair of the original “Going Green” exhibit, Myra was happiest when her hands were dirty – either with paint or from her gardening work. We invite artists to repurpose, recycle or create new artwork to celebrate the beauty of the world around us and honor the spirit of Myra, who was so committed to healing our earth.
All work must be original. Celebrate the beauty of our planet. Raise public awareness. Show us your green ideas by using traditional media and/or old things in new ways. Recycle, Reuse and Renew. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from March 25 – April 29.
MEDIUM
Any medium, including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, drawings, mixed media, collage or sculpture with pedestal. (NO COPIES, REPRODUCTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHY OR GICLEES PLEASE)
JUROR
Martha Tarlow, Owner of the Roslyn Village Gallery. Marsha Tarlow was born in Manhattan and grew up on the lower East Side where her parents encouraged an appreciation of the arts and nurtured her love of painting. Marsha opened the Roslyn Village Gallery in 2016 and featured a large exhibit of Myra Fox’s work in 2017.
Of her own art Marsha says, “I believe my paintings speak on a level that makes one feel good. My art is peaceful, inspiring in me a feeling of serenity. If the content is sincere, it will be noticed. To me, painting is like breathing and I often remind myself how lucky I am to be a painter. I don’t believe artistic skill is a natural endowment…you are born with a gift, but the determining factor for an artist is motivation and hard work. It takes intelligence, sensitivity, good teaching and luck to develop artistically.” Her work is in many private collections.
SIZE AND FRAMING Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side. Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame, not the backboard. (Gallery wraps are acceptable.) No saw tooth hangers, no tape or string on the back. Work must be labeled with the title (if any), artist’s name, phone number, and email address.
