Invitation to all Makers!

Old School Makerspace is seeking art pieces to fill our gallery space for the 2023-24 year. It is our hope that all people who come through our doors will be able to enjoy the beauty and the creativity of things made by hand. You are invited as an important member of our community to share one of your own pieces in the space!

The focus of the 2023-24 gallery collection is to display pieces from our community that reflect the artist’s representation of light.

Light can be both obvious and mysterious at the same time. Our lives are inextricably intertwined with light. It is a necessity that we cannot live without, yet it can also be metaphorical and personal. Throughout history artists have had a strong connection to the subject of light. We invite you to share yours with us.

“When we draw the objects, surfaces and spaces of our world, we are to a large degree drawing an experience of light. The strange and wonderful paradox is that light is invisible, but makes things visible.” - Mick Maslen

“Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.” - Walt Whitman

We are looking for either a long term loan (1 year) or even a permanent donation if that is something you would like to do. 

Pieces submitted can be any medium of your choosing. Any piece submitted needs to have been completed within the last two years. Two-dimensional pieces should be framed prior to displaying in the gallery space. If you have a three-dimensional piece please include a brief description of how it may best be displayed (ex: is a base included? Does the piece require a pedestal? Is the piece breakable?)

If you are interested in submitting a piece (or pieces), the deadline is July 15, 2023.  Please send photos of your submissions via email to annakathrynb@gmail.com and include:

• Title

• Date work was completed

• Medium

• Dimensions

• 1-2 paragraphs explaining: “How does your submission explore light?”

All submissions will be reviewed and selections will be completed by August 1, 2023.

If you have any questions please email: annakathrynb@gmail.com.
