Art on the Docks, a gallery on the sponge
docks in Tarpon Springs, will launch its first annual "sponge
painting" contest in October. Most folks are familiar with sponge
painted walls, but these are sponge paintings to be hung on
walls.
Cash and prizes totaling more than $200
will be awarded to the three most popular entries as determined by
votes cast by visitors to the gallery.
"No tasteful submissions will be turned
away, although there is a size limitation of 20"x24" maximum," said
gallery owner and event promoter, June Middleton. "Entries will be
accepted while space allows on a first come, first serve basis."
Also the entire painting must be painted using sponges.
The gallery receives thousands of visitors
a year from every walk of life and from all over the world,
including of course, the Tampa Bay area. Aspiring artists have the
opportunity to display their work to a world community. There is an
entry fee of $5.
Sponge paintings in oils, watercolors or
acrylics are welcome. Completed works will be accepted at Art on
the Docks, 735 Dodecanese Blvd., Mon.-Fri., Oct. 1-5 only. For more
information call 727-943-9298. The gallery is open every day except
Tuesday.
