BEDLAM IS BACK AND IN THE GALLERY! ARE WE CRAZY? Maybe…but IT IS BEDLAM! It’s always a hoot, and after this past year, we all could use a good time!
Please join us for our 10th annual Bedlam show, where anything goes! For this show, you, the artist, hang your own artwork anywhere in the gallery at any height, sideways or even upside down (all while masked and practicing social distancing, of course). We supply the hammers and nails. Hanging this way is meant to cause a creative BEDLAM…a fun and carefree way of showing your work, always enticing good conversation.
ENTRY FEES
Members ONLY: $10 per piece.
EASY BREEZY INSTRUCTIONS
Come to Ridgefield Guild of Artists for receiving on Friday, June 25 from 4-6pm or Saturday, June 26, from 1-4pm. Fill out an entry form and wall tag for each piece, grab a hammer and nail, and hang it up on the wall. That’s where the bedlam begins! No equipment is necessary – the Guild has lots of tools and stepladders. We may limit the number of artists into the gallery at any one time to keep things safe.
