You're invited to submit your artwork to the Annual CCMoA Members Juried Exhibition, Sketchy: Revealing The Process. 

Juror: Jackie Reeves 

Most works of art – whether paintings or sculptures, begin with an idea and then a sketch – a rough drawing or simple, loose painting the artist creates to work out the composition and colors. Sometimes the sketch is done on a scrap of paper or in a sketch book. But often it is an under-painting or under-drawing directly on the canvas, panel or other substrate. As the artwork progresses, the sketch gets covered, but sometimes fragments of the initial design poke through, giving the viewer a glimpse into the artwork’s evolution and the artist’s process.

The theme of this year’s Annual Members’ Juried Exhibition is SKETCHY. The Cape Cod Museum of Art is calling for artworks that reveal some aspect of the process of creation in the finished product. 

There are 2 general ways to respond to this call:

1. Submit a preliminary sketch or painting, framed or unframed, along with the finished piece (as one entry).

2. Submit a finished work of art in which:

- Some of the lines and marks made in the early stages of the work, are still visible in the finished piece.

- Parts of the stone or clay used to make a sculpture remains untouched –the sculpture emerging from the raw material making the viewer conscious of the process

- Sections of a finished painting, print or drawing reveals an earlier work that was partially erased, painted/printed over.

- Areas of the canvas remain untouched by any media

- The artwork presents the viewer with several stages of the process that led     to the finished piece in be a diptych or triptych.

How to Enter:

• Register up to 5 entries and pay the entry fee
• You will be emailed a link to upload the image of your artwork and provide the information. Please complete a separate form for each entry.

About The Juror---------------------------------------------------------------------

Jackie Reeves

“If I had to draw a picture of my life as an artist it would look like a doodle of looping circles and lines that overlap and retrace.

Fresh out of art school I worked in design, illustration and graphics but soon fell into a fifteen year career painting murals for corporate, private, and public spaces. At mid life I was inspired to move away from the commercial art realm and return to art school for an MFA.  During the last 12 years I have focused on studying art history and developing my artistic voice.  Now, to my surprise, mural painting has seeped back into my life and found a place in the mix of my artistic expressions.

The lines of separation that once existed in my mind between, design, illustration, drawing, painting, high art, low art, commercial art… have blurred into one giant scribble. It’s all art that feeds my soul and shows me how interconnected we all are.”
