Spring 2025 Challenge: "Collage a Quote"!
As many of you know, our Spring Challenge – “Collage a Quote” is quickly approaching! The deadline is at our upcoming April 6th meeting, and I have no doubt we’ll see some incredibly creative and thought-provoking pieces.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, here are the important details:
Size Requirements: 12x14 inches or smaller.
Submission: One piece per person,
delivered between 9:00 and 9:30 AM on April 6th.
We already have over 35 entrants, so please arrive on time
to allow for setup.Displaying Your Quote:
If your quote is clearly visible in your collage,
no separate card is needed.If it is not, please provide a separate card with your quote
and any explanation you’d like to include.Do NOT include your name on the front of your collage or card
—this is a blind voting event (just like our last challenge).
You may write your name on the back of your piece.
New & Improved Voting Process!
This time, we’re simplifying the voting method:
Each participant will receive three voting tickets.
There will be an envelope in front of each piece where you can place your tickets.
Winners for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be determined by the number of tickets in each envelope.
We hope this method will make counting much easier than last time!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me, Lynda Henderson, via email or text (contact info is on the sign-up sheet at the back of the room).
Thank you, and I look forward to seeing your incredible creations!

Why Set Up A Gallery Page?
Some exhibit curators will be using our gallery for their jury process.Gallery pages are one place the Exhibits chair looks to see artists’ work. The Exhibits chair often uses the gallery artists pages to find artists willing to submit images for exhibits and promotional information. (flyers, evites and press.)All art media is acceptable on our PaperWorks gallery pages… in fact, a variety of media is most welcome!If you are a new Artist ready to go public, setting up a gallery page saves time and expense over setting up your own website.Your gallery page increases the overall quality of PW members and a professional presentation. Work from the gallery is used to highlight individual members’ artwork on our website homepage.
Are you a PaperWorks member? If you would like your original art to appear in the gallery, please fill out the form below and request your work be placed in the Gallery. Artists already in the Gallery are encouraged to submit recent work. Any type of art is appropriate for the Gallery, not just paper.
PaperWorks has a new recipient for unused art supplies and charitable donations: Iskashitaa Refugee Network.
In case you didn't know, Iskashitaa means "working cooperatively together" in Somali.
