Members of two local art groups are invited to participate in the “Fusion” Show at Tryon Arts and Crafts School Gallery.

The show will be on exhibit Aug. 24 –Oct. 6. An artists’ reception will be held Friday, Aug. 24 from 6-8 p.m.

The show is designed to showcase the work of member artists from Tryon Arts and Crafts School and also from Tryon Painters and Sculptors. Gallery shows are a popular attraction for the community and are also a way to increase revenue for the school.

Entrants may bring in up to two works of art. There is no special theme for the show, and any media will be accepted. Artwork can be dropped off Aug. 20-22.

Artists are encouraged to offer their work for sale. Artists participating in this show will be expected to pay a 30-percent commission on sales to Tryon Arts and Crafts or Tryon Painters and Sculptors, depending on their affiliation. If entrants are members of both organizations they may choose the group to which they wish to designate their commission. Checks for sold items will be mailed to artists after Oct. 15.

Please email Christine Mariotti at Christine.tac@windstream.net if you are planning to enter artwork in this show.
