Photos needed for Sweetwater County display

Local photographers have an opportunity to display their creative work at the Sweetwater County Library.

The Sweetwater Photo Open is an annual event in the Sweetwater County Library System and is scheduled for January and February. The exhibit will open Jan. 6 and be on display through Feb. 29. This deadline to enter is Jan. 4 at 5 p.m.

The two-page entry form is available at the library circulation desks and at the Community Fine Arts Center. Applications will also be available online on the CFAC’s website at http://www.cfac4art.com.

The deadline as stated above allows staff time to hang the shows before the opening days of the exhibit. Participants are asked to drop off their entries at the appropriate library. The exhibits are open to Sweetwater County artists who are out of high school.

The exhibits committee of the library system developed the guidelines for the exhibits displayed in the county libraries, which is included on the application forms.

The photographs must be framed, ready to hang with wire or saw-tooth hangers and identified on the back with labels which are included in the application. 

The committee meets throughout the year to review applications and schedule exhibits. Artists interested in displaying their work are encouraged to submit an application for an individual exhibit. Application packets are available at any county library circulation desk and at the CFAC.

The exhibits committee is made up of community members Angie Bennett, Deon Quitberg and Donna Ragsdale, all of Green River, and library system members Michelle Maser, White Mountain Library library manager; Jacqueline Kramer, Sweetwater County Library library manager; Lindsey Travis, public relations specialist and Debora Soule, CFAC director.
