NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The annual Adolph Grant Award Show sponsored by the New Rochelle Art Association will be featured in the Lumen Winter Gallery of the New Rochelle Public Library from December 8, after 12:00 noon, to January 2, 2014.
The show is open to all exhibiting members of the Association with the grand prize of $75 reserved for a New Rochelle resident working in oils, watercolors, acrylics or pastels. This award was established by the New Rochelle Art Association in 1924, in memory of noted member Adolph Grant, and has been awarded annually to an outstanding New Rochelle painter ever since. Another cash award will be given for Best in Show, as well as ribbons for second, third and honorable mention for outstanding entries in all media and categories, regardless of the artist’s residence.
Artists who would like to become members of the New Rochelle Art Association are invited to submit three pieces of recent work (not older than two years) for consideration for membership at the Jurying-In of New Members on Saturday, December 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 noon at the New Rochelle Public Library. All types of work will be considered – paintings, graphics, sculpture or crafts – as long as it is an original and not a copy. Photography and computer graphics will also be considered. Work should be brought to the Meeting Room on the first floor of the Library. Artists selected by the jury will become Exhibiting Members of the New Rochelle Art Association.
