Call for artists: Orcas Library filling 2022 exhibit schedule

Want to exhibit your art? Now’s your chance. The Arts Committee at the Orcas Island Public Library is now seeking applications for the 2022 exhibit schedule. All types of art — painting, sculpture, photography, mixed-media — are acceptable.

Interested Orcas Island artists of any age should submit, either online to the Committee Chair, Dave Kosiur (dkosiur@gmail.com), or in-person to Library Director Phil Heikkinen, an application to include the following: 

• Name, address, email, and phone number
• Six digital or printed images of your work (digital preferred)
• A brief (200 word) statement of interest and an artist’s bio

Please ensure that the application is submitted to either Dave or Phil no later than October 1, 2021. The Library Art Committee will review applications and communicate with artists to create the 2022 exhibit schedule by November 8.

For the past four years, the Orcas Island Public Library has added support for the visual arts on Orcas Island by inviting island artists to exhibit in the newly expanded library.  The Library is pleased to have had three dozen artists display their work in the past four years and will continue this program for 2022. 

Thank you to all the wonderful island artists who exhibited in the past four years! We look forward to even more examples of local artistry in the next year.
