The Art League of Long Island invites artists to submit applications for its upcoming Landscape Competition titled “Land, Sea & Sky”. The exhibition will concentrate on landscape imagery, embracing seascapes, cityscapes, garden scenes and woodland, for example, and maybe rendered both realistically or abstractly. The exhibit will be on view in the Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery from June 27 through July 24. The deadline for submissions is May 22 by 4 p.m.
The competition is open to artists residing in Suffolk, Nassau, Brooklyn, and Queens. Entry is limited to five works not previously exhibited in the Art League of Long Island’s Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery, one of which may be selected by the juror for admission. 2D & 3D original work in any medium may be submitted, including photography and fine craft. Sorry, no videos.
