July 12-August 27
CALL FOR ARTISTS
International Festival of Burnsville (IFB) and Ames Center seek artworks to display at the 12th annual IFB Cultural Perspectives art exhibition: MAKE TIME FOR ART. Make Time for Art depicts connections to each other, at home or across the globe, and timelessly reflected in cultural values & traditions. IFB’s exhibit features two-dimensional art of any medium; freestanding or pedestal mounted three-dimensional work including sculptures, textiles; framed or on-canvas photographs (preferably no less than 16×20”). IFB’s review panel encourages multiple submissions.
The exhibition is free and open to the public in the Ames Center Art Gallery July 12-August 27 (Wednesdays noon-5pm, Fridays noon-5pm, and Saturdays 10am-2pm). In addition the gallery will be open July 15 during the International Festival of Burnsville until 6pm. Also, join an Artists Reception on Thursday, JULY 13, 6:30-7:30pm with free admission & appetizers.
