The Berkeley Arts Council announces “Summer Bloom”, a juried exhibit of art reflecting the beauty and color of summer. All 2-dimensional work framed up to 36 inches in the long dimension, including but not limited to painting, photography, and mixed media is eligible. Small 3-dimensional works that will display on a 1 foot square pedestal will be considered. The exhibit will be displayed from June 24 – July 19, 2015 in the “Back Space” at the Berkeley Art Works, 116 North Queen Street in Martinsburg, WV.

There is no entry fee. Accepted artists will be asked to make a donation for each work exhibited to support the gallery at the time work is delivered.

Digital Images should be at least 1000 pixels on the long dimension saved at 72ppi at a high quality setting. Please included your last name in the filename as in jones_no1.jpg.

The Berkeley Art Works, a project of the Berkeley Arts Council, is the realization of the long-held dream of the arts community in Martinsburg and Berkeley County West Virginia: to have a community-based arts facility that supports local and regional artists, brings quality arts experiences for the members of the public, and provides a wide range of arts learning experiences for local residents, artists, and artisans.
