MassMu and Glenmoor CC Last Call for Artists

The Massillon Museum will present, in collaboration with Glenmoor Country Club, the inaugural edition of an outdoor art fair, “Gallery on the Greens,” on Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12, on the grounds of Glenmoor. White tents filled with original art will line the boulevard that leads to the clubhouse.

Admission for spectators to the show on Saturday and Sunday will be just $5 (free for members of the Massillon Museum) to encourage artists’ sales. A VIP patron reception will be held on Friday evening. Each artist will be responsible for his own space and sales.

The entry deadline for artists who wish to be considered for the show is April 15. Any Ohio artist is eligible to submit a proposal. Tents (10x10 feet), tables, chairs, and overnight security will be provided as part of the $250 entry fee. Additional space, tents, tables, and chairs can be provided for an additional fee. The entry fee will not be due until the time of acceptance.

All media will be eligible. Artists will submit digital images of their work for consideration by the jurors. Cash awards totalling $600 will be awarded.

Artists may obtain entry forms with complete application information by contacting Sandi Thouvenin at the Massillon Museum, 330-833-4061 or sthouvenin@massillonmuseum.org.

Glenmoor Country Club is located at 4191 Glenmoor Road Northwest in Canton.
