Call for Artists!

The Lacey Senior Center’s recent expansion has provided us the wonderful opportunity to call out to our local area’s artists to enter your submissions of art to be considered for permanent installation Senior Center, located at 6757 Pacific Ave. SE. Mediums may include watercolor, oil, pastels/charcoal/pencil, photography, relief sculpture and embroidery, and must be wall- mountable. All submissions must be framed. Please email images of finished piece(s) and dimensions to activitiesdir@southsoundseniors.org Jurors will vote on the winning collection, and the winning art pieces will be purchased by Senior Services for South Sound. The purchasing price per piece is not to exceed $500. Selection Criteria:

? Pieces will be judged on artistic merit and on composition.
? Artwork will also be judged on appropriateness of placement in the Senior Center environment. We are particularly interested in art that is realistic in nature and reflects the Celebration of Life.
? Artwork that is religious, political or sexual in nature will not be considered
