Welcome to the art call site for the 2022 Edition of the Small Stones Festival of the Arts. The Festival is a collaboration of Apple Tree Arts, the Worcester County Camera Club, the Blackstone Valley Art Association, the Shakespeare Club of Grafton, and the Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra. Once again this year, we'll have an exhibition of juried works of art in the Great Hall at One Grafton Common, with prizes selected by our distinguished panel of jurors. The juried-in works will also be published in our annual hardbound catalog - a tradition we're continuing this year. All submissions will appear in our Web Gallery, available on this site during and after the exhibition. To learn more about the Festival, visit our main website...
You are invited to submit your original works of art for this exhibition through this website. Our jurors will select among the submitted entries to determine which to include in the exhibition and the printed exhibition catalog. Just prior to the opening of the exhibition, the jurors will also select prizewinners in the above categories.
All work submitted to the festival must be of publication quality, without reflections, abnormal color shifts, perspective distortions, etc. Not only will this help our jurors evaluate your work for their prize selections, but also will make the best presentation on the web and if your work is selected for our printed catalog.
Criteria include:
- Format: JPEG or PNG files accepted.If you are a photographer, this shouldn’t be a problem. If, however, you have paintings that you need to photograph, there’s an app for that: Google Photo Scan, available for iPhone/iPad or Android. This app guides you through taking a series of photos of your work, combines them, removes glare (from cover glass or reflections from varnish, etc.), and gives you a nice result. Just be certain your phone/tablet camera has sufficient resolution to meet the above requirement – an iPhone 6 probably will not, but a newer phone or tablet might be fine.
In order to submit your work for the festival, you must register on this ArtCall site by clicking on the Register button in the header above (if you already have an ArtCall.org login, you can simply log in using the green Login button instead). If you have a narrow browser screen (mobile, etc.) you may have to click on the three horizontal lines in the upper RIGHT to see the buttons. Fill in the necessary information on the registration form and create a password.
Although there is no registration fee, there is a nonrefundable submission fee of $10 per submitted work. Note that a maximum of three works will be accepted into the festival per artist.
