The Key West Art & Historical Society is reviving its popular juried art exhibition, “From A Woman’s Hand,” and invites Florida Keys women to apply by the Friday, Jan. 3 deadline.
The exhibit will feature paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, prints, textiles and ceramics created by female artists.
Drawn entirely from the Florida Keys community, the exhibit aims to illuminate the achievements of women artists who have been marginalized for centuries, and to celebrate the Keys’ thriving arts community through the eyes of women. The 40 or so artists included in the exhibition come from all walks of life and varying levels of professionalism. Elena Devers, Martha Resk, Emma Starr and Cori Convertito will jury the exhibit.
The submission fee for artists is $25, which will offset the cost of the public opening reception that takes place on Feb. 7.
Interested artists must submit their application and one proposed piece of art by Friday, Jan. 3.
All mediums and themes will be considered, but work must have been completed within the last three years and cannot have been displayed previously at the museum. Artists will be notified of acceptance on Jan. 20, with delivery dates Jan. 30 and 31. The display runs through April 20.Visit kwahs.org/exhibits for entry and submission details and to submit your work.
