Deadline for submissions: September 5

This year’s Arts on Division Festival in downtown Somerville will be held September 15 through 18, coinciding with the annual JazzFest. As part of the event, Arts on Division will hold a special exhibition entitled “Somerville Perspectives.”

Artists are invited to enter artwork expressing any facet of Somerville life – the diverse population, interesting architecture, downtown, parks, town events, historic sites – any part of the community that has a particular meaning for you. The deadline to submit artwork is September 1. However, we strongly recommend not waiting until the last minute, as space is limited.

Gallery on Main is delighted to host the exhibition, which will run through the Festival weekend and continue for another two weeks, through October 1. An opening reception will be held at Gallery on Main on Thursday, September 15 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.

As space is somewhat limited, we are accepting hanging works that are no larger than 12 x 18 inches, framed. For exhibit guidelines and to enter your work for consideration, visit Arts on Division's website.
