Calling all artists! PTA Reflections

Calling all artists! 

(That includes visual artists, authors, dancers, musicians, thespians, and videographers!)

This week you received an entry form for PTA Reflections at Pinchbeck! With the long weekend, it might be a good time to start your creations based on our theme "I'm hopeful because..."

Your art will be judged on three criteria:

  • Interpretation: How closely the piece relates to the theme, based on the work itself and the artist statement. 
  • Creativity: How creative and original the piece is in its conception of the theme and its presentation. 
  • Technique: The level of skill demonstrated in the basic principles/techniques of the arts area.

Submissions can be made now by dropping off to the Reflections box in the office or emailing us at reflections@pinchbeckpta.com. The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 1st.

For more information, check out: https://pinchbeckpta.membershiptoolkit.com/reflections

And if there are any questions, feel free to reach out to Joseph Yeargain or Susy Yim at reflections@pinchbeckpt
