Gallery9 is seeking artists to create an original work for a show "Looking Up" in our Norwood gallery.


During this time when everyone seems to be dwelling on the negative, we think it's time to focus on the positive.

"Looking up" is a show which asks artists to conceptualize the phrase "looking up" in whatever way they wish.


For an entry fee of $10, all are welcome to contribute, provided the work is done on the gallery-provided 10"x10" canvas. 

Be creative! Mount photos to canvas. Collage onto the surface. Work in acrylic or oil directly on the surface. Decoupage your watercolor onto the canvas.

Work cannot exceed 10"x10".


All work must be for sale with prices determined by gallery management and the artist at time of drop-off. 

Only pieces done on this provided canvas and size will be displayed. 


A standard commission of 60% to the artist and 40% to the gallery will be offered for all show sales.

10% off all gallery proceeds will be donated to the Norwood food pantry.


How will you interpret this phrase? We are looking forward to seeing your submission!


Pieces should be dropped off to the gallery by Friday, October 30th.


All are welcome to attend the opening reception which will take place Friday, November  5th, for Gallery9's First Friday event from 6-8pm.
