The Groundhog Show at the Warehouse (509 Portage Lakes Dr, Akron, OH) is looking for artwork that comments on life during and in contrast to the covid pandemic. Anything celebrating socialization, domesticity, relationships etc. would make a wonderful submission. That said, anything weird and funky is also appreciated as the show is all about celebrating life, weird, bad, good, ugly. Submit up to three pieces for free. We are going to try to hang up as much work as possible for the show. 100% of sales go to the artists. Selections are made based on photos provided, work most be dropped off in-person. The point of the Groundhog Show is to pop our heads out post-covid and claim back the summer with some great networking between creatives.
The show is a 3 day show. The opening Friday night is a private event. Saturday and Sunday the Warehouse will be open to the public for viewing. Drop off for work is Tuesday June 1st. Pick up is Monday June 7th. First, second and third place winners will win something, prizes are surprizes. Jurors yet to be selected. Any questions call/text/email Hope, 330 607 9522, hickmanhope16@gmail.com
