Event History
HISTORY - In 1976, the real estate developer Arthur Rubloff and two local artists William and Judie Anderson, who are all original supporters of the BAC, decided to honor their good friends, Alice and Arthur Baer, by establishing an art competition in their name. Funding for this important juried competition continues today thanks to the generosity and community spirit of the Beverly Bank & Trust Co.
This art competition is open to 2-D works and sculpture (including wood, ceramics, fiber, and other). Wall-hung works of art should not exceed a total area of 6ft X 6ft. If the work is framed, the pieces must be framed with plexiglass instead of glass. All wall-hung work needs to be ready to hang with hanging wire attached. Sculptural works must either be free-standing or fit onto a normal pedestal. Sculptural pieces must be able to be displayed within a maximum area of 4ft X4ft. Submit original work only. No copies or laser prints accepted. Digitally created work should be printed on archival media and framed.
ARTWORK eligibility – Submitting artists must be at least 18 years old and live within 100 miles of the Beverly Arts Center (BAC). Artists must submit their own entry for original work and this submission attests that the work is their original work and the artist owns the rights to display any submitted work. Artists accepted into the competition will be notified by February 11th and will with be contacted with specific exhibit details.
