Lucille Khornak Gallery presents "Big is Beautiful," by Lynn F. Walker
This summer, the Lucille Khornak Gallery in Bridgehampton, NY is hosting a contest to offer an opportunity that unifies a larger, more diverse panel of artists wishing to share their gifts of creativity with the collectors and tastemakers of the Bridgehampton art world. Submissions will be accepted until Thursday afternoon, May 17.
DESCRIPTION
True Independence allows you to be yourself and express your truth no matter where you are, who you are with, or what you are around. This summer, as we gear up for another exciting season of art in the Hamptons, we are looking to draw inspiration from near and far, to display the feeling of summer, the power of history, and the joy of freedom! Artworks submitted should draw from the inspiration of an incredible summer, powerful moments of global history, and the freedom of independence.
