Visual Art

Enter Arts West Soon

Nicole Humphrey |

Area artists are invited to enter the ArtsWest, the LE Phillips Memorial Public Library’s annual juried art show from March 1 to April 10. The show, in its 30th year, is a pretty big deal around these parts. It is open to all working artists and students, 18 and older, living in Wisconsin (for a $10 entry fee). The library’s lower level will accept entries Feb. 19-21 (6-8 pm on Thursday, 1-5 pm on Friday, and 10:30 am to 4 pm on Saturday). Entry forms are available at all libraries in Chippewa, Dunn, and Eau Claire counties, as well as the art departments at area universities. Prize money will be awarded to the best three artists. Call 839-5004 or e-mail librarian@eauclaire.lib.wi.us.
