Hot Works, LLC is seeking artist submissions from local LGBTQ professional artists for the 15th Annual Orchard Lake Fine Art Show July 29-30 at West Bloomfield High School in West Bloomfield.
"Artists are a very diverse group, and applications are accepted from everyone. I welcome LGBTQ artists to apply," said Patty Narozny, executive producer of the fine art and craft show, which recently joined the Detroit Regional LGBT Chamber of Commerce in support of the LGBTQ community.
Narozny said both pre-show jurying and on-site judging are based on originality, technique, execution, and booth appearance. There is $2,500 in professional artist awards for authentic, personally handmade high-quality paintings, clay, glass, sculpture, wood, fiber, jewelry, photography and more.
All work will be reviewed by Hot Works, LLC to assure originality. Fraudulent, imitated or imported entries will be rejected. Artists are required to be present at the show to answer any questions about their work. The Orchard Lake Fine Art Show has been listed in the top 100 art fairs nationwide the last 10 years in a row, out of several thousand art fairs, by Sunshine Artist Magazine.
The deadline to apply is April 3. For questions or more information, contact Narozny at 248-684-2613, 941-755-3088 or email [email protected]. View the new map here.
