The City of Sequim Arts Commission is seeking submissions of artwork that explores Music as creative expression.  Artworks can be literal representations of musical instruments, depictions of musicians performing for an audience or your interpretation of how a particular song makes you feel. Music can be transformative; it's power can be energizing or relaxing, it can take you back in time to revisit past memories or can inspire positive vibes and motivation for the future. Any interpretations of the theme are welcomed.

Please fill out and sign this form if you would like to participate in the Music Exhibition. Be sure to fill in every space, even with n/a for not applicable. By signing below, you agree to allow the City of Sequim to exhibit your artwork, as well as use your profile information and photos in City of Sequim publications, websites, social media channels, signage, and distribution to media. This agreement remains in effect until you rescind your decision in writing or until the termination of the Music Exhibition.

Note: Each person is allowed to submit up to two pieces of art but each piece will need a separate entry form filled out.

I attest that the artwork submitted is my original work of art. I understand that if my piece is selected for exhibition that it must be presented "ready to hang" or "ready to display" with picture hanging wire installed, framed or matted and framed, or on panel for presentation in the Karen Kuznek-Reese Gallery at Sequim Civic Center.

Please be sure to label your work on the back of each piece, with your contact information and title of piece.
