Arts center welcomes applications from artists

The Fine Line Creative Arts Center in St. Charles will present two national juried mixed media exhibitions and encourages all interested artists to apply and submit original artwork.

• "Indulgence" exhibit and sale will run March 20-April 18. Artist applications are due by Friday, Jan. 30. Artists near and far are invited to submit original artwork on the theme of "indulgence." In what do you indulge? Almost any theme is possible, from extravagance and luxury to tolerance and mercy.

• "UnpredicTABLE" exhibit and sale will run July 10-Aug. 7. Artists' applications are due by Monday, March 2. For this show, artists from across the nation are invited to submit original artwork for the theme of "UnpredicTABLE." Pieces should represent items found at the table, such as tableware, table linens, provisions and decorations; or they should be evocative of the mood set when participants gather at the table for meals, such as seen in paintings and tapestries, for example.

All 2-D and 3-D media will be included in these two exhibitions, and artists are encouraged to apply in any medium. Jurors will select artists based on originality and quality of their submitted work.

Interested artists can download information and applications for each of these exhibits by visiting fineline.org/call-for-artists.

"Indulgence" and "UnpredicTABLE" exhibits will be held in the Kavanagh Gallery at Fine Line Creative Arts Center, a nonprofit art center in St. Charles. Kavanagh Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Fine Line Creative Arts Center, at 37W570 Bolcum Road St., Charles, offers fine art classes and guest artist workshops to adults in textiles, ceramics, 2-D and 3-D.

Two art galleries are part of the Fine Line campus: Kavanagh Gallery, which hosts local, national and international juried shows, and Dempsey Gallery, which features works of art by Fine Line instructors and members.
