The New Art Center is again hosting FenceART, a year-round public art project where artists can submit up to 3 works to a jury that will choose 20 images to be printed on high-quality vinyl banners and rotated in small groups among five public fence locations in Newton for approximately 8-10 weeks at a time.
All artists who currently reside, work, volunteer, worship, or participate in art classes in the City of Newton are invited to submit work. Artists may submit 3 jpegs of work in any media, including but not limited to photography, painting, quilting, collage, and photos of 3D work. Artists accepted in any year must skip a year before applying again (i.e., artists who’s work is currently on view as part of FenceART may not apply in this round). There are no fees associated with participating in this program.
