Unison Gallery at Water Street Market announces a call for entries for its Third Annual Mini Works Show, scheduled for September 2010. Curated by Eileen Brand Hedley and April Warren, the theme of this year’s exhibition is Submerged. Artists are challenged to create works in a 5″ x 5″(no bigger or no smaller) format that reflects upon or reinterprets this theme. Last year’s show included 75 artists and over 200 works of art. We plan on exceeding these numbers with your help this year.

There will be an opening reception on Saturday, September 18th from 4 to 7 pm. This is scheduled in conjunction with the New Paltz Third Saturday Art Loop, of which Unison is a member.
