If for some reason you need an extra day or so, get in touch with us! We are hoping many of our gallery artists will participate again and we can hardly wait to meet NEW ARTISTS we don't even know exist yet. This show is often how we meet new artists to work with in the following months. It's how we met Melissa Townsend and Katharine Burns, for example. As long as the work measures 4" x 5" as the main dimensions, it's eligible! Happy Creating on canvas, board, paper, metal, ceramic etc....
ALL THE DETAILS ARE BELOW and you can pick up supplies at DeSerres and the NSCAD Art Supply store (but they are closing for the holidays on Dec. 23rd and not re-opening until Jan. 4th...so plan accordingly) or create your own surface!
Pre-Shrunk 2016 Submissions Call!
Calling all artists, calling all artists!
It’s that time of year again! We are announcing our open call for submissions for Pre-Shrunk, our much loved annual group show that asks artists to create work on a 4x5” surface. We encourage submissions from both established and emerging artists in their preferred medium.
