Art and great beer? Yes, please.
New Westminster’s favourite local brewery has announced the details of a new community arts program that will support the work of local artists.
Steel & Oak Brewing Co. will have a new community arts space in its tasting room at its Third Avenue premises, with a gallery rotating on a quarterly basis.
It has a call for artists open now for its first exhibition, on the theme of Community – artists can interpret the theme however they see fit.
All visual artists, both established and emerging, from the Lower Mainland are invited to submit, and all types of art are welcome – including painting, digitized art, visual poetry, mixed media, photography, printmaking, drawing and more. No three-dimensional sculptures or installations can be accepted.
In a post on its website, the brewery notes that it wishes to highlight how diverse the community is and to help create a platform for marginalized voices, so artists on the LGBTQ spectrum, non-binary artists, artists of colour and artists with disabilities are “strongly encouraged” to submit.
Submissions will be received up until noon on Friday, Aug. 10.
For full details of how to submit, check out the brewery’s call for artists.
Steel & Oak Brewing Co. is at 1319 Third Ave.
