Pelham Art Center
Announces Call for Entries

Pelham Art Center, 155 Fifth Avenue, has announced a call for entries for the 6th Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition For Painting. This juried competition is open to U.S.-based artists aged 19 or older. A $5,000 cash prize and a solo exhibition at Pelham Art Center are awarded to the winner. Pelham Art Center is proud to sponsor the competition and award to honor the memory and artistic achievement of Alexander Rutsch (1916 – 1997), an artist who actively supported Pelham Art Center for more than 25 years. After his death, friends and supporters of Rutsch and his family established a generous and significant fund to support a bi-annual, open, juried competition in a range of mediums.

The Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition program continues Rutsch’s belief that art transcends all of our humanity. Rutsch saw art as “the stone in the water sending ripples throughout the universe.” His extraordinary work, rich in the celebration of life and our shared human experiences, is included in many of public and private collections throughout the US and Europe.

Those interested in submitting work for the 6th Alexander Rutsch Award and Exhibition can find the prospectus and entry form at www.pelhamartcenter.org or contact rutschaward@pelhamartcenter.org or 914-738-2525.

Entries must be received by February 4, 2011.
