Harford Dance Theatre (HDT), the resident community dance company at Harford Community College, invites artists to submit paintings inspired by Claude Monet and Impressionism. The selected works will be shown in conjunction with HDT’s production of Kinetic Canvas: Claude Monet in July 2016. For its summer show each year, the company creates an original dance-theatre production inspired by a visual artist to explore the connections between the performing and visual arts.
The juried show will be exhibited outside of the theatre entrance as a complement to the staged performances. Just as the performances are inspired by Monet and Impressionism, we are looking for paintings that engage in a similar conversation.
Specifications and Guidelines:

All artwork must be original and inspired by the work of Claude Monet.

Pieces may be in any painting medium. (We cannot accept 3-Dimensional pieces, photography, or other non-painting media.)

The chosen pieces should be ready for hanging with wires installed.

Artists are allowed up to two (2) submissions. All submissions must be electronic. Please send up to 3 images of artwork to jowilliams@harford.edu
with the email subject line “Kinetic Canvas Art
Submission (Last Name).” To the email, attach your photographs and completed submission form, found below. Incomplete entries will not be considered. The deadline for submission is
11:59 PM on Sunday, May 22, 2016.

Five finalists will be selected by a jury of Visual, Performing and Applied Arts faculty at Harford
Community College and notified no later than July 1, 2016. The selected art will be displayed at
Kinetic Canvas, on July 23, 2016 and the artists will be invited to attend the event.
