Laurel Arts Triennial Juried Show: Building Bridges (June 22-Aug 5)

Basin Triptych by GAP Member Katie Maish

GAP is excited to partner with Laurel Arts for their Triennial show, “Building Bridges”, June 22 – August 5, 2021, juried by Diane Kelly of Firesong Studio. While the wider public is welcome to submit work to the show, GAP members in good standing are eligible for extra opportunities.

Art Submission Process

1.

If you are not currently a member, join GAP or renew your membership at https://papercutters.org/membership/.

2.

Ship up to three artworks to Laurel Arts for jurying by June 17, 2021.  Read the full prospectus at https://papercutters.org/wp-content/uploads/Triennial-2021.pdf   Make sure to check the box that you are a GAP member.

3.

Any GAP member works not selected for the Laurel Arts Triennial will instead be displayed in the GAP Museum or the Bottleworks Ethnic Arts Center in nearby Johnstown, PA. We will notify you shortly after the jury process to let you know where your art will be displayed.* 

4.

All GAP member submissions will also be considered for a later traveling exhibit at the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh.

5.

Submissions may be considered for the GAP National Museum’s Permanent Collection, pending progress by Strategic Planning and Museum Committees.

*Requirements for GAP Display:

  1. Must include some form of cut paper
  2. Must be original in design, not copies or reproductions
  3. Must be in acceptable display condition (Plexiglas recommended for framing to avoid broken glass).

Laurel Arts is a family friendly art center, so please consider this in the selection of your works.
