PORT ANGELES — Visual artists on the North Olympic Peninsula can exhibit work in Strait Art 2011, an exhibition from March 20 through May 15 at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
The deadline for submissions is Monday, Feb. 14.
Since the first Strait Art display in 1990, the show has aimed to present a cross-section of the region’s artistic riches, said center director Jake Seniuk.
This year, as the center marks its 25th, or silver, anniversary, “we would especially welcome submissions that somehow incorporate ‘slivers of silver,'” he added.
“This may be interpreted broadly,” in each artist’s media, content and concept.
Those slivers of silver are not required in any submission, Seniuk said.
The center also is bringing back its Enter Stage Left performance series for a third year.
This is a lineup of performances in various genres, such as literary, theatrical, musical and comedic arts and — new this year — video art.
The six Friday nights for Enter Stage Left events in the center’s gallery are March 25 and April 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29.
Artists and performers in Clallam and Jefferson counties and the Victoria area are eligible to participate.
They are asked to e-mail or provide discs of their work in digital files, along with a resume and, if they choose, an artist’s statement and press clippings.
Another option is to send a proposal by e-mail to pafac@olypen.com, with links to websites where the artist’s work can be seen.
Entrants also are welcome to contact the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center before the submission deadline.
Works that are part of the Strait Art exhibition must be received by March 11.
