Era Living CALL FOR ART
The Wonders of Watercolor – Aljoya Mercer Island
Oct 12th 2020 – Feb 14th 2021
DEADLIND September 28th 2020
NEW: Including “Residents Choice Awards”

The Wonders of Watercolor – seeking work that demonstrates the versatility and range of the watercolor medium. Subject matter wide open (but appropriate for this audience), I’m looking to focus on the technique and skill of manipulating the pigment as a fluid process.

Era Living Exhibitions – Changing times:

Art is a great connector and brings great value as it enriches our lives. Now, even more than ever, we seek to find joy in the simple things around us, which change our environment and give us different window on the world.

Era Living is committed to continue its Arts Exhibition program, to make art accessible and refresh the surroundings for its residents and staff at its retirement communities.

We have made some changes to our usual way of doing thing
– There will be pre-determined timeslots allocated for art drop off and pick up
– Art drop off / pick up will be carried out “curbside” with limited contact
– Unfortunately we cannot commit to art opening gala’s at this present time, we are finding new ways to help promote the exhibition and artists by way of social media and also short videos
– By way of appreciation to our artists, we are delighted to offer our “Residents Choice Awards”. A monitory award granted to selected artists, by our residents.

1st place $250.00 2nd place $150.00 3rd place $100.00

What hasn’t changed
– There is no submission fee.
– The artist receives 100% from sales at Era Living locations
– no commission is taken.
– Sales are made directly between you and your client.
– All artwork is insured and hung by our professorial installers.
