Call For Artists (Especially Those That Love Horses)

Back in June, I participated in an event organized by Main Stay Therapeutic Riding Center, a non-profit organization that offers therapeutic riding to people with physical, developmental, emotional and social disabilities. The organization is hosting an ongoing call for artists. On various dates, artists are allowed to roam around the facilities and take inspiration in their surroundings. (And the surroundings are breathtaking indeed!) Beginning in February, artists may submit their work to a jury with no entrance fee. Next summer, all accepted artwork will become a part of an exhibit. The pieces will be up for sale—50 percent of the earnings will go to the artist and Main Stay will get the other half. All artwork not sold will go back to the artist. Seriously, it’s a really great deal, so all interested artists should sign up, as there are more dates available in the fall. It was a fun day to go out shooting and fraternizing with horse people. (And the horses are a blast to spend time with. They’re so personable!)
