Nature Art Showcase entries being accepted

From staff reports

Original art pieces are being accepted for inclusion in the Nature Art Showcase and Sale, a free public art exhibition at the Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin, during “Franklin On Ice” on Feb. 4 and 5.

There are no limits as to the residence of participating artists.

Typically available are 2-D and 3-D items, including paintings; sculptures; metal fabrications; fabric arts; jewelry; wearable art; photography; pottery; drawings; wood carvings; and watercolors.

For items to be portrayed in the printed exhibition booklet, completed registrations must be received by Jan. 12.

Each artist may enter one or two items with an option of selling or displaying artwork.

If artwork is for sale, the artist sets the retail selling price and will receive 85% of the selling price if sold, with the remaining 15% commission retained to help offset exhibit expenses.
