2012 : A Year of Change

Schedule and Applications

10th Annual “New Works” Exhibit

March 2 – April 28, 2012

We are choosing to move this annual exhibit to begin the NEW year with NEW ideas and NEW works.  We request that all work submitted be made within the past year and never exhibited before.  This is an opportunity for artists of all genres to share their new work with the community.  All media welcome.

For this show we are offering a special opportunity for artists who submit a paid application to bring in one fellow artist who has never shown at the Hayloft Gallery as a “guest applicant” free of charge.  Details on application.  We look forward to meeting new artists!

“Make Me Laugh”

May 4 – June 30, 2012

It’s time to bring some humor into the gallery. We challenge artists of many backgrounds to bring humor into their work, in whatever way tickles their funny bone.  This will be our only themed show of the year and we hope to inspire artists who may not typically work with humor to be playful and have fun with their work!  All media welcome.
