Rokhaya Waring Garden Series: Poppies
Artist members of RNAC are encouraged to submit proposals of art in 2 D or flat media (painting, photography, mixed media, printmaking, etc.; maximum width of 2D/ flat art, 48 inches) to hang on two sections of wall at The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck.
Each exhibition will feature six or seven artists. Please complete the entry form with contact information, a brief description of the art to be exhibited with the theme, if there is one, framed sizes, media and jpegs for at least three of the proposed artworks for curating and promotional use.
Selection process: Proposed art will be chosen to complete both shows with a balance in style, media, and size. It will be curated for overall content and visual impact but these are not juried shows. Those not chosen will be placed on a list for future shows.
The four-week show, August 8 through September 4, will be up during our August 17 Cultural District Gala and "Pass the Hats" fundraising party at The Center. And, Labor Day weekend is prime time on Rocky Neck!
Art delivery will be on Monday August 6, 12-4 PM, the works installed on August 7 and an opening reception on Sunday, August 12, 4-6 PM following the 2-4 PM Summer Artist series for Paul George opening at the RNG.
A 30% commission on sales will support the Capital Campaign Fund. Please forward the following information and, if at all possible, include jpegs of your work via email to art@rockyneckartcolony.org by Thursday, August 2 to ease the process of selection.

MON, August 13, Richard Rosenfeld : A Democracy or A Republic?
Lost Lessons from The Early American Republic
Richard Rosenfeld will present a lecture based in part on his widely acclaimed book, American Aurora. Awarded "Best History, 1997" by the Los Angeles Times, the book was described by Doris Kearns Goodwin as "a magnificent achievement…The early days of the Republic will be much better understood by the publication of this remarkable book." And the Dallas Morning News called it a "riveting narrative of an epochal political struggle…A tale of high drama that leaves the stately mythology of our Founding Fathers’ wisdom and omniscience shattered."
