On The Road: The World We Create – Jacoby Arts Center


Our next edition of “On the Road-The World We Create” exhibit that will be at Jacoby Arts Center in Alton, IL. This is an exhibit for 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional work with a subject manner spotlighting the world around you and creative processes. Just a simple look out of any window exposes architecture, design, nature, color theory, etc. The world can be as small as your neighborhood or as vast as the entire planet.

The exhibit will be on display July 17, 2024 through August 30, 2024. Installation will be the week of July 13, 2024. Jacoby Art Center is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11am to 4pm. There will be an opening reception with awards on Friday, August 2nd from 6 to 8pm.

This is a unique opportunity to showcase BOMH artists. Jacoby Arts Center has graciously offered BOMH a six week exhibit window. We have an incredible opportunity to bring BOMH talent to the Illinois side of the river. Each member can submit up to three pieces for display, with the understanding that space may dictate that not all submitted pieces will be hung. Each piece of artwork needs to be framed and ready to hang or display. Please make a mental note that this is a child friendly venue. Jewelry is allowed, but no locking cases are available. Jacoby Arts Center will be able to make sales on works and will only take a 30% commission. Size and weight restrictions are listed on the Call For Entry. Jacoby Arts Center is a large, beautiful space. Pedestals are available for 3-dimensional work. Let’s make sure to fill the space!

Know any musicians? Jacoby Arts Center is always looking for musicians to play during opening receptions and ours will be no different. The two hour spot pays! Contact Jacoby Arts Center directly if you are interested or know someone who might be.
