Art competition

The B-W Greenway Community Land Trust & the Fairborn Art Association’s Landscapes 2022 juried art competition is underway. It has been held for the past 11 years to heighten public awareness of preserving local green spaces through art.

The 2022 location for the competition is Spangler Nature Preserve, which encompasses property acquired on both sides of Spangler Road by B-W Greenway.

The juried competition is open to all artists 16 years and older, living within 200 miles of Fairborn. A 2-D work may be oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, print, drawing, mixed media, or photography. A 2-D art may not exceed 30 x 40 inches; 3D art, less than 60 lbs. in weight. The 3-D sculpture must fit through a standard doorway.

All entries will be received at the Fairborn Art Association Gallery, 221 North Central Ave. (in the rear of the building) on Saturday and Sunday from 1-3 p.m.

A non-refundable entry fee of $20 for a total of 3 works must accompany all entry forms. Artwork may be offered for sale by the artist; 20% of each sale will be taken as a donation to B-W Greenway Community Land Trust.

The judge for Landscapes 2022 is Eve Fleck, who served as director of marketing and communications for the Springfield Museum of Art.

The opening reception will be held at the Fairborn Art Gallery on Sunday, July 10 from 1-3 p.m. The art will be on display at the Fairborn Art Association Gallery and open to the public on July 17 and July 24.
