Artists looking for a place to show off their latest creations need look no further than The Art Studio, Inc. in June. Submissions are being accepted for the annual Alternative Show, a free-for-all art exhibition on display June 1-26.
The show will open June 1 with a reception, 7-10 p.m. at TASI’s gallery, 720 Franklin St. in downtown Beaumont.
Entry is free and submissions will be accepted in person May 28-30, noon-5 p.m. All works must be show ready, and wall pieces must be wired (no sawtooths).
“This is a great opportunity for artists of all ages to exhibit their work,” Greg Busceme, TASI director, said. “There are no judges, and everyone is accepted. Many local artists have used this opportunity to show their work for the first time in a public setting.”
The Studio hosts the Alternative Show every June as part of its mission to encourage participation in the arts.
“Too often, people are making art but worry that they are ‘not good enough,’” Busceme said. “The Alternative Show traditionally features work that represents all ages and all levels of experience. If you make art, an important part of the process is putting it out there to be seen. That’s what this show is intended to do — give you a chance to show your stuff in a friendly, nurturing environment.”
