Sidney Fine Art Show 2020

After much consideration, the Sidney Fine Art Show Organizing Committee and the ArtSea Community Arts Council Board have decided to postpone the show until October 2021. The Show is funded by sponsors, patrons, artist entry fees, door admissions and art sales. We anticipate these revenue sources will be greatly compromised by the global economic crisis leaving us in an untenable financial position. The Show depends on our many volunteers to get it up and running. With the on-...going health concerns, we are unable to continue with planning and organizing under the current circumstances. We regret letting down our community of artists who have supported this show for 17 years. We can only hope, with everyone confined to their homes, that great art will emerge from this surreal time. See you in 2021.

Today is the first day of spring! It's a wonderful time of the year to start on the artwork you'll enter in the Show. Be inspired by artwork from last year's Show: First Flowers Hellebore, Snowdrop by Jane Dillion-Davis.

To all our Artists, Sponsors and Supporters. The Organizing Committee is "keeping calm and carrying on" in the current circumstances. While you are staying home, why not use the time to create some wonderful art. We look forward to seeing the results at Adjudication in September! ... Be inspired by last year's Best In Show painting by Evguenia Ioganov, titled "Requiem".

This Women's Day, let's celebrate accomplished female artists who made an impact in the art world, such as Frida Kahlo, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Artemisia Gentileschi. And we also are grateful for the many female artists and volunteers in the Show! You are all amazing. #InternationalWomensDay

That blank canvas might be the first step in getting your artwork ready for this year's Sidney Fine Art Show!
