Congregation Beth Shalom has created a gallery space for exhibiting wall-hung art by respected local artists, in order to broaden the Congregation's involvement in the cultural activities of our local community. Artists are chosen in August of each year, by jury review of the slides they submit. We have 4 formal shows each year (from September or October through May), each show approximately 6 to 8 weeks long. This year we will also host a fifth, "members only", show. There is a reception for the artists at one of the Friday night Onegs during the exhibit.
There is a $20 jury fee, to cover expenses of mounting the shows (waived for Congregation members). The Congregation requests a donation of 20% of any sales realized during the show.
