Call for Artists: "A Taste of the Sublime"

Submission Deadline: May 4, 2009

The Fenimore Art Museum is now accepting submissions for the second annual A Taste of the Sublime, to be held Saturday, August 8, 2009, on the museum's spacious grounds overlooking Otsego Lake .

A Taste of the Sublime is a juried art invitational that welcomes artists from across New York State in a celebration of the historic relationship between the artists and the landscape that surrounds us. The event features food and beverage tasting, en plein air painting, family activities, tours of the world-class collections at the Fenimore Art Museum , and -- most importantly -- landscape artists exhibiting, demonstrating, and selling their work.

Last year’s event was a great success with almost 700 people in attendance on a beautiful August day. This year, we will be offering a new slate of prize categories, as well as introducing a few new activities and highlights throughout the day.

If you are interested in submitting your work to our jury or have questions about the event, please contact us by email at k.betz@nysha.org or by phone at (607) 547-1461. An artist’s information packet and application form can also be found on the Fenimore Art Museum 's website by selecting the Call for Artists link on the main page at www.fenimoreartmuseum.org
