Northbrook Originals
The Northbrook Arts Commission in collaboration with the Northbrook Public Library (www.northbrook.info) is pleased to announce the 2010 Northbrook Only Juried Exhibition for Northbrook resident artists to display their original artwork. This show will exhibit in the library from January 4 to January 31, 2010. This is a wonderful opportunity for Northbrookç´ artists to have their original artwork seen by the community. Space is limited and only one (1) piece per artist, at the most, will be selected. Artwork that has been previously displayed in the library is not eligible. Applications are available online, at the Library and Village Hall.
Background - The Northbrook Arts Commission in collaboration with the the Northbrook Public Library began an annual juried Art Exhibit for Northbrook Artists in January 2003. This exhibit was the first time Northbrook resident artists could display their original artwork alongside other Northbrook artists. The show,open to Northbrook resident professional and amateur artists, celebrates the breadth of talent in the community and encourages each and every resident to explore opportunities to expand their own artistic expression in all art forms.
The Arts Commission sponsored Art In The Park - A Northbrook Fine Arts Festival for the first time in July 2008. The Commission added a second Northbrook Originals show to this annual July art festival to offer another wonderful opportunity for Northbrook’s artists to have their original artwork seen by the community.
