The Harlin Museum of West Plains, MO is set to host its annual Welcome To The Wilderness exhibit, and this year the theme is Discovering The Great Outdoors Of The Ozarks and will include a multimedia show competition. We are calling for multimedia submissions from all forms of artists– painters, photographers, sketch and graphic artists, sculptors, and model-makers, craft artisans, etc.
Entry dates for the competition will be Friday, November 12th, and Saturday, November 13th from 12 pm-4 pm at the museum, located at 405 Worcester Ave. in West Plains, MO. The show’s entries will be on display to the public as an exhibit in the museum’s Hathcock Gallery, beginning November 19th and ending November 28th.
Entry fees are $5.00 per entry, with a cost break of $20.00 if you enter five items into the show. Entries will be evaluated for artistic quality, integrity, technique, and presentation, as well as how skillfully they represent the theme of the show—to convey through art the essence of “the Ozarks wilderness.” Entries must meet given guidelines for acceptance into the competition portion of the show. The show’s final categories and prizes to be awarded will be determined by the actual entries received.
Those who are interested in entering the competition can find entry guidelines and other pertinent information on the museum’s website at this link: Welcome To The Wilderness: Discovering The Great Outdoors of the Ozarks, or on flyers that are available in the museum’s lobby.
