Celebrate Arts! 2011

Competition Goes Digital This Year

Register Now for September Digital Workshops

The Friends of the Florence Events Center are proud to present our annual juried art show, “Celebrate Arts! 2011.” We are excited to bring a juried art show to the community once a year for the many benefits it provides the gallery, the artists and the gallery audience.

Celebrate Arts! will celebrate FEC’s 15th year in 2011 by having all art work submitted to the competition in digital form. For complete show information and instructions for submitting your art, click here: http://www.eventcenter.org/celebrate-arts/

To help artists prepare for the digital submission process, workshops will be held at FEC on September 11 and 12. Workshop registration runs through August 26. Space is limited so please register early. Click here to download the online registration form. Registration forms are also available at the Florence Events Center, Digital Dunes Photography, and the Siuslaw Library. Cost is $25.

The workshop session is two hours long. Scheduled times are 9 - 11 a.m., 11 a.m. - 1 p.m., 2 - 4 p.m., and 4 - 6 p.m. on both days.

The workshops will provide details of how to take and upload digital images. Local photographers Curt Peters, Rob Welles, and Stephanie Ames will photograph art, burn it to a CD and teach workshop participants how to upload it.

Work to be photographed must be for entry in Celebrate Arts! 2011 and is limited to four pieces. All work should be unframed.

In addition to photographing art work for the 2011 show, there will be a workshop on how to photograph artwork for future shows and exhibits. This workshop will focus on how to use a “point and shoot” camera to get the best possible results. Attendees must bring their camera and user’s manual.

For more information about the workshops and this year's Celebrate Arts competition, call 541.997.1994. www.eventcenter.org/celebrate.htmlReply to:
