ARTISTS NEEDED ▶ FOR YEARLONG JURIED PROJECT

The Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticu­t is seeking artists to apply for juried art shows to be held in Danbury and Bethel next year.

The Accessible Art Project is a collaborat­ion with the Cultural Alliance and public and private venues in Danbury and Bethel.

Artists are selected by jury and matched to a venue for an art exhibit. Each location mounts about five exhibition­s per year. More informatio­n is provided during registrati­on and after selections are com- pleted. Each exhibit is on view for about eight weeks. Artists may be selected for more than one location.

This is a unique opportunit­y to exhibit works in nontraditi­onal spaces. It is also an opportunit­y for the public to have greater access to original artwork. The first round of exhibits will begin in late February. Membership is required for artists to participat­e.

For informatio­n and to apply, artists can submit an entry online at cawct.org/ accessible-art. New business partnershi­ps in the 10 towns served by the Cultural Alliance are welcome.

The deadline for entries is Jan. 18.

The Accessible Art Project is open to all emerging and working artists located in Western Connecticu­t and Putnam County.

Contact the Cultural Alliance at info@cawct.org or 203-798-0760.
