The Art Guild invites all photographers to enter “I’m Ready For My Closeup,” a Juried Competition and Exhibition. More than just closeup portraiture, this exhibit encourages photographers to explore and examine our world from a macro, and even micro, perspective. All photographers, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), are invited to submit up to three photographic works for consideration. The deadline for submissions is midnight Jan. 8, 2016. A prospectus can be downloaded at TheArtGuild.org.
The exhibit will be on view at The Art Guild’s home, Elderfields Preserve at 200 Port Washington Blvd. in Manhasset from Feb. 6 – 28, 2016. Gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 1 – 5 p.m. or by appointment. An Artists’ Reception and Awards Ceremony will be held on Sunday, Feb. 7 from 3 to 5 p.m.
The juror for this show will be Harold Naideau, a photographer, artist, author and educator based on Long Island. He teaches photography at Suffolk County Community College, Briarcliffe College and Stony Brook University. His photography blends traditional fine-art photography with digital imaging and printing and utilizes a changing array of modern material and processes. You may see his work at: www.naideauphotography.com
The winter schedule of classes for children and adults will start in January, and will include Art Explorations & Creative Art Studio for children, and classes in watercolor, drawing, and life drawing and more for adults.
