LBCG Seeks Artist Submissions For Coming Together: An Exhibition of Small Work

The Long Beach Creative Group presents an open call for small works. LBCG is interested in work that reflects current artistic trends. Artists who reside in Long Beach, Signal Hill, Lakewood, and San Pedro, or who grew up in these communities, are eligible. Original works of art in all media are welcome: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, textiles, digital art, wall-mount sculpture, and mixed media. All submissions must not exceed 16 inches in any direction, including the frame.

Each artist may submit a maximum of 3 small works. Images should be in a JPEG format that is no larger than 5MB, with a minimum of 1200 pixels on the longest side.

The submissions will be reviewed by two jurors, Asia Morris and Brian Trimble, who will select the work to be included in the exhibition. Morris is a Long Beach artist and, for many years, covered arts and culture for the Long Beach Post. Dr. Trimble is the Board President of the Arts Council for Long Beach, served in many leadership roles at the University Art Museum, and Assistant Professor of Art Education, both at CSULB. Artists will be notified of their decisions.

The deadline to submit work is June 6. Artists will be notified after June 14th. Work must be dropped off at the gallery on June 27. The exhibition will open on Saturday, July 10, and will run through August 14. Artists must be present on August 14 to collect their work.

All work must be professionally presented. This means it will be delivered ready to hang. Works on paper, including photographs, should be framed. For artists who are exhibiting for the first time, help with framing is available upon request.

The LBCG/Rod Briggs Gallery will be open to the public from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. No appointment is required. To schedule a viewing outside of those hours, call 562-400-5166. More information about the group, the gallery and the show can be found at LongBeachCreativeGroup.com. Follow them at facebook.com/LongBeachCreativeGroup.
