Call for Artwork – 2013 Solo Shows

Application Deadline:  Monday, April 2, 2012

Locust Grove was the nineteenth-century country estate of Samuel Morse, the artist, founder of the National Academy of Design, and the inventor of the telegraph and Morse Code.  In the twentieth century, the estate was owned by Poughkeepsie’s prominent Young family who were noted collectors of Hudson River School paintings and the founders of the museum at Locust Grove.  In honor of the estate’s history and connection to the visual arts, Locust Grove annually presents solo show exhibitions. 

Juried by a panel of art professionals by CD/ROM submissions, selected artists will be offered a solo show at the estate’s elegant Museum Pavilion.  Locust Grove encourages artists to develop new works of art for this exhibition opportunity.  In an effort to give artists time to prepare, the solo shows offered in this jury process are for the year 2013.
