HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jace Chambers with the Hutchinson Art Center said it is the time of year for submissions to the annual members art show at the center.

"We've been having this annual show for decades now," said director Jace Chambers. "It goes back almost as far as art association and art center history does. It's just a way for us to celebrate and thank our artist members for being so supportive and enjoy their artwork that they've created within the past two years."

Any current members or new members that join can be a part, but they have to pick their best single piece, with limited exceptions.

"We're accepting two dimensional, three dimensional, we'll even talk about installation art," Chambers said. "I think the only thing we're not accepting at this time is performance art."

It's a fairly well represented show in most years, too.

"In slower years, where things have been harder for everyone, 2020 and 2021 for example, there can be lower turnouts, like 30 or 40, but we've had as many as 80 artists participate before in the past," Chambers said. "It can really run the gamut. The bigger the show, the more fun we have."

The Art Center is accepting submissions through September 29th.
