Come celebrate 30 (+1) years of showcasing contemporary art in New Bedford this August with our 32nd Annual Public Hanging, an open call community art exhibition. There is no theme or style requirement for work to be shown, all artists are invited to submit any of their work for inclusion. The Public Hanging is the chance for community artists of all backgrounds to join with Gallery X artist members to exhibit any work they’ve produced without needing to fit to an overall theme or motif. Work may be submitted during Gallery hours or by appointment beginning July 17. Deadline for submissions is Sunday, August 1. When submissions are brought to Gallery X the artist must fill out a submission slip with basic contact and labeling information.
Please send any questions to GalleryXNB@gmail.com.
This is a non-juried show, all artists and media are welcome.
