Exhibits at Mint Hill's Town Hall, Chamber of Commerce and BB&T (Ongoing)
First Monday of each each month at BB&T
Fourth Thursday of each month at Mint Hill's Town Hall
We are accepting work from members of MHA to be exhibited at the three off-site exhibits (Mint Hill Town Hall, Chamber of Commerce, and BB&T).
Submission is open to all two-dimensional media and photography and is limited to two pieces per member, with a maximum width of 30 inches for each piece. Due to space limitations, we can only hang 40-50 pieces total (depending on the size mix). If supply exceeds space available, decisions of acceptance will be guided by size media mix, and appropriateness for the venue. There is no entry fee.
All work must be appropriately framed and wired for hanging (no clips, saw-tooth hangers, staples, or tape). Work that does not adhere to these standards will be declined. Please review the Submission Guidelines below. Please have all forms completed when you submit your work.
We are honored to accept the invitation to display a sampling of our members’ artwork at each of these local venues. Each month there will be a new exhibit.
Please contact Romie Mizell, Off-site Exhibit Committee Chairman with any questions.
