Summer Idylls Exhibition (Old Forge, NY) – Call For Artists

View announces a call for artists for Summer Idylls. Submit artworks that celebrate people enjoying summer activities whether in the mountains and lakes, in a city, or at the shore. Open to all media. Think summer, that wonderful time of year when everyone gets outside to enjoy the warmth and the sun at the beach, on the lakes, or in the mountains. This summer View will present artist Lewis Bryden’s nostalgic 1950’s Boardwalk Idyll paintings. These lively and atmospheric paintings depict summer on the Boardwalk and beach with youthful friendships, romances, Ferris wheels, bars, restaurants, patrons, and workers.
