Thank you for your interest. The submission deadline for 2010 has passed.
Stay tuned for details on 2011’s Juried Art Competition & Show in the Hamptons.

Calling all artists!

Submit your best artwork to compete for a solo exhibit at an East End art gallery… AND to help out a great cause!

100% of your entry fees go directly to support the services of the Retreat, the only non-profit domestic violence agency on the East End of Long Island. And taking part in this event gets your artwork reviewed by top jurors with a potential for group and solo art gallery shows.

The first Annual Hamptons Juried Art Show was a great success with representation from, our local community, around the country and abroad. This year we expect this event to be even bigger. Sign up today to be a part of the 2nd Annual Juried Art Competition & Show in the Hamptons!

2010 Jurors…

The top 25 entries will be shown in a group show at Richard J. Demato Fine Arts Gallery opening on May 1, 2010. The show will run until May 13, 2010. The “Best in Show” of these 25 will win a SOLO Exhibit at the gallery at a date to be determined.

The top 25 entries may also be used in promotional material, on the web site, or any other way the Retreat feels is necessary to draw press to this event.
