From BLACK SWAMP ARTS COUNCIL
The community is invited to enter artwork in the “Unleashed!” art exhibit at the Black Swamp Arts Center, 210 N. Defiance St., Archbold. People can unleash their creativity and tap into the unique bond they share with their pets – domestic or wild. Black Swamp Arts Council is launching a pet-themed exhibit where most media is welcome.
Entries are accepted now through Monday, July 13. A fee of $35 – $30 for BSAC members – will give participants the opportunity to display up to three pieces of art at the Black Swamp Arts Center. Artists are asked to submit their work at https://showsubmit.com/show/bsac-unleashed-2026 before the deadline of July 13.
This exhibit will be juried and then judged for awards. Prospectus is available at Black Swamp Arts Center as well. Artists are encouraged to submit artwork that is available for sale. Accepted artwork can be delivered to the arts center on July 24 – 25. The exhibit will run through Sept. 11.
The “Best of Show” winner will receive $300. Three “Outstanding” award-winners will receive $150 each. Three “Merit” award-winners will receive $50 each. The winner of the “People’s Choice Award” will also receive $50. Three “Honorable Mentions” will also be recognized.
There will be a “Meet the Artists” and opening reception on Thursday, July 30, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. with light appetizers, wine, and beer.
