Fathom [fath·om], verb:
1. To measure the depth of water; 2. To penetrate to the truth of; comprehend; understand.
This July, OHCA invites you to fathom WATER in all of its forms and essences; its symbols and traditions (in all cultures); and all of our individual relations and experiences with it—but especially what it means to YOU. Abstract and expressionistic works encouraged.
Media: Any media. Outdoor installation proposals welcome. Works must be ready to hang or display and labeled with artist’s name, phone, medium, size, and price, if for sale.
When dropping off your art, please bring a resume or an artist statement if you have one. Gallery policies will be provided at the time of drop off. Gallery requirements are that insurance coverage is provided by the artist and that accepted work must remain on view throughout the month. By taking part in the show, artists agree to a 30% tax-deductible donation to OHCA from all sales.
Dates for exhibition entries: Please hand-deliver (no slides or .jpgs) up to three pieces of work to OHCA on Friday, June 29, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. or on Saturday, June 30, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. We will notify you (preferably by email) about whether your work has been accepted by Monday, July 2 at 5 p.m. Works not accepted must be picked up Tuesday, July 3, between 12:30 and 8 p.m., unless alternative arrangements are made.

Also on Exhibit: Virginia Stella, “Of Heaven and Earth” Virginia says, “I am an artist of earth and sky, using drawing, photography and printmaking mediums. The garden is a fertile place of color, light, form, and texture that affords me plant material for working in my studio. I also work plein air, hoping to discover a new shell, feather, or church around the bend. A trip to Sicily, my ancestral home, heightened my appreciation for creativity and Creators. ‘Make something beautiful for God’ said Mother Teresa. I hope my work fulfills that suggestion and that earthly viewers enjoy my work as well.”
