Call for Artists
 
The Bellamy Mansion invites artists to submit their inspirational ideas of “Wilmington: Then and Now” to be named the 2017 Commemorative Postcard. 
 
The Bellamy Mansion  is excited to announce a commemorative postcard contest to be held in conjunction with its Spring 2017 Art Show. The art show will take place April 6 through May 26, 2017, during the Azalea Festival. The objective of the art show is to showcase Wilmington’s history, people, architecture, parks, flora and fauna, cemeteries, riverfront, bridges, beaches, etc. in original artwork. To help further increase the artistic opportunities of the show, we are seeking submissions of artwork for a commemorative postcard contest. The purpose of the contest is to design a postcard promoting the Bellamy Mansion Spring 2017 Art Show.
 
The commemorative postcard contest is open to all North Carolina artists 18 years of age and older. There is no fee to enter the contest. Winner(s) will be selected by the Bellamy Mansion Spring 2017 Art Show committee. The winner(s) will be announced on December 15, 2016 via Bellamy Mansion’s website, social media and email campaign. All artwork must be 11 x 17 inches at 300 pixels per inch, and submitted in a JPG or PDF file format, or the original artwork may be submitted in person at the Mansion. Along with their image or artwork, artists should submit a one-paragraph description of the design concept in a text file (.doc or .docx).  
 
The winning postcard(s) may be turned into a poster for promotional purposes. The original postcard artwork will be raffled off during the opening reception. The winning artist will receive 50% of the auction price or divided evenly if there is more than one winning artist. The other 50 percent of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to Bellamy Mansion and Museum. The winning postcard(s) will be reproduced and reprinted for resale and publicity. Artists grant permission and rights to use the postcard image with submission entry.

Meeting on Thursday October 13 at 6 pm

We will meet at the Arboretum starting at 6 pm for social time. Then a short business meeting and a Committee Fair are planned. There will be a few surprises!
Come and enjoy.

Members Online Gallery

Starting an online members gallery was brought up during our September meeting.

This will be a place to post your art for anyone to see. It can be for sale or just for show, and more important, it will be a way for us to get to know each other better.
We will need pictures and words from you.
You need to submit 1) a pretty good picture (digital image) of your art.
You will also need 2) to write the name of the piece and the medium, and any other pertinent info.
Please include one or two sentences about yourself or the piece.
Keep it brief but interesting. Artists will eventually have many pieces in the gallery, and info will accumulate.
You may submit as much work as you like, one at a time, to waaeblast@gmail.com
Ideally we will have one post per day.
If you have any questions, please speak with Susan Buteau at the meeting on Thursday.
This is for all of us!
