Gainesville, Fla. – Artists can share their works for the Alachua County Library District’s eighth Summer Art Show starting July 1 through July 29.

The summer show will feature pieces from adult artists on the Library District’s website in August. Participants can submit up to two works each by email with a completed entry form for each piece. Entry forms and rules are available at www.aclib.us/summerartshow or by emailing ccarpenter@aclib.us.

Submissions should be in the form of a jpeg, png, or pdf file and may include paintings, photography, drawings, mixed media, digital art, and 3D artwork. The 2020 art show moved online for the first time and featured paintings, photos, sculptures, and even a cross-stitch entry.

“The art show has thrived online and we’re eager to see what inspired pieces our talented local artists submit this year,” said Adult Services Librarian Cheris Carpenter.
