Eggy Call For Art

The Craft Coven is hosting our second annual EGGY art show in the Cherry Street Pier first floor gallery from April 1st to April 30th 2025. Opening reception will take place on April 4th for First Friday.
Form application deadline is February 24th. Participant invitations will be sent in mid March. We have a limited amount of space and will turn down works that:
-have no connection with the theme (see below for broad range of theme)
-are too large, too small, or otherwise cannot be physically displayed for any reason
-are in any way mis aligned with The Craft Coven's goals of community enrichment
What is EGGY?
The theme eggy can be interpreted in many ways. This show is meant to be a celebration of all that Spring holds for our community. There are images that we connect with this time of year: eggs, rabbits, flowers, raindrops, color palette of pastels, greens and pinks just for example. For some, Spring is a moment of rebirth, renewal and new beginnings. For others it's when we get together to eat egg salad and get free candy. Tell us what an Eggy Spring means to you!

We will accept installation proposals with a focus on anything that involves the community. We have space for more than one installation depending on size. Please email [email protected] directly with questions on installation specific work.
We are not asking for an application fee, but we will request that all invited artists donate a $20 hanging fee (paid when invited to participate, via venmo or paypal) towards supplies and labor. If fees will cause a barrier for anyone invited to display, The Craft Coven will sponsor your hanging fee when possible.
