FELTON LIBRARY FRIENDS ART CONTEST

Sponsored by Palace Art & Office Supply

In response to artist queries, digital art entries will be accepted.

Felton Library Friends is looking for graphic representations of the Faye G. Belardi Memorial, the building at the corner of Gushee and Felton Empire that currently houses the Felton branch library. One or more of the graphics will be selected for greeting or note cards to be used to raise funds for projects supporting the library.

Felton Library Friends is a volunteer community organization that arose in June 2005 out of the proposed closing of the Felton Library branch. We are dedicated to supporting excellent library service to Felton and its surrounding communities.

The graphics submitted may be drawings or paintings in black and white or color.

All graphics will be displayed in the Felton Community Hall on October 15, during a Felton Library Friends Bluegrass concert. 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes will be awarded based upon votes by the viewing public, and will consist of gift certificates to Palace Art & Office Supply in the amounts of $100, $65, and $35. Felton Library Friends will select the graphics to be used for fundraising based upon additional criteria such as suitability for duplication, size, etc. For those graphics selected for duplication, the artists will retain rights to their original work but will grant Felton Library Friends the duplication rights.

Artists are invited to submit their originals for sale at Felton Library Friends raffle to be conducted during their Bluegrass Concert.
