CALL FOR ARTISTS Ten Squared: Paint the North Fork

Back by popular demand, Ten Squared is a fundraising exhibit and sale for Southold Historical Museum.  The theme of this summer exhibit is entitled Ten Squared: Paint the North Fork.  In this non-juried exhibition, artists are invited to submit pieces that are 10” x 10”.  Each work will be sold for $100, half of which will benefit Southold Historical Museum.  The online exhibit and sale will be July 1 - July 31, 2022.

Since the 1800’s people have been coming to the North Fork by ferries, trains, and roads to enjoy the bucolic North Fork.  The theme of this year’s Ten Squared will focus on the farms, wineries, picturesque towns, and proximity to the water that has drawn people to the North Fork continually over the centuries.   This inspirational landscape directly relates to the Museum’s 2022 exhibit on Summer Colonies of Southold. The same beauty that attracted people to summer on the North Fork many years ago, exists today.  The exhibit is meant to be a celebration of that beauty.

Artists are invited to submit up to 3 works which measure 10” x 10” including frame.  All mediums are accepted.   Art works should be dry.   Please attach a label to the back of the artwork with Artist Name, Title, and Medium.  (As noted: all artwork will be sold for $100.00, half which will benefit Southold Historical Society Museum)

Finished 10” x 10” works are due with submission forms in the Southold Historical Museum office at the Prince Building, 54325 Main Road, Southold by Friday, June 18, 2022.  Kindly drop off works during office hours (10 am-2pm) from Monday, June 13 through Friday, June 18.  Unsold work must be retrieved by August 19, 2022 or it will be recycled. Instructions will follow for pick-up of unsold works.
