4th Annual Juried Art Show in the Hamptons to benefit The Retreat

The Retreat, the only non-profit domestic violence agency serving the East End of Long Island, is pleased to announce their 4th Annual Juried Art Show.

In the previous three years of the Juried Art Show the Retreat has garnished both national and international attention by reaching artists who have submitted works for consideration as far as South Africa, San Paolo, Brazil, the Midwest, and the entire Eastern seaboard. 

The message is clear: artists from diverse backgrounds and cultures are showing they care and are coming together to try to end domestic violence.

 
The show benefits the Retreat’s Domestic Violence Services and is open to all artists with work in Photography, Painting, 2D, 3D, and Sculpture (no video art). The work cannot be larger than 24″ x 36″.  

The deadline to enter is August 1, 2012. Entry fee is $50 per entry, limit 3 entries (1 entry is $50, 2 is $100, and 3 is $150). Actual work will not be judged — submit entries in JPEG form. For complete rules and entry form visit  www.hamptonsjuriedartshow.com, email dmullarkey@theretreatinc.org or call 631.329.4398.
