OGDENSBURG -- The Frederic Remington Art Museum invites artists to submit artwork for the 2016 Members’ Juried Art Exhibit, which will be on display May 21 to Sept. 11.

Museum member artists can submit up to three digital photos of their art.

Open to artists everywhere, one work from each artist is guaranteed acceptance.

This year the museum is trying a themed exhibit. The theme is water.

The relationship between submitted art and the theme may be creative and inspired, and need not be literal.

The juror chooses from digital representations of up to three artworks, and also awards prizes for “best in show,” second place and third place. A “Public’s Choice” award will be chosen by visitor ballots cast throughout the exhibition. The prize, a museum-wrapped canvas reproduction of Frederic Remington’s “Boat House at Ingleneuk” ca. 1904, will go to the winner.

The juror is Catherine Tedford, who received a bachelor’s degree in art from SUNY Potsdam in 1980 and an master’s degree in printmaking from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1983. A

fter working in commercial, academic, and non-profit galleries in Boston for several years, she returned to northern New York to direct the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University.

She teaches occasional courses on artists’ books and street art, and she helped develop a papermaking studio called Zone 4.

Tedford has overseen the construction of digital image archives from SLU’s permanent collection ranging from Canadian Inuit prints, drawings, and carvings to West African textiles and Vietnam War-era photographs.

She also collects street art ephemera from around the world and writes about those materials on her research blog, Stickerkitty.

An artist who is not yet a museum member may join with their entry into the exhibit.

The deadline for submission of digital images via email to lafo@fredericremington.org or on CD, entry form and payment is April 13.

Works in the exhibit may be offered for sale, with one third of the price benefiting the museum.
