Deadline approaching for Holyoke Center group art show

 

Harvard employees who work at the Holyoke Center are invited to participate in the eighth annual group art exhibit, to be displayed Dec. 7, 2007, through Jan. 2, 2008, in the Holyoke Arcade’s exhibition space. The goals of this exhibition are to showcase the artistic talents and creativity of Holyoke Center staff and to celebrate its community. Because space is limited, the number of pieces each artist may exhibit will depend on the number of artists interested.

For submission guidelines, contact Deena Anderson, events coordinator at the Holyoke Center, at deenaanderson@verizon.net. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 15.
