Call for Regional Artists!
“When the Work is Done”
Annual Adult Regional Show
In the Gallery May 25 – July 2, 2022

The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center is pleased to announce the 2022 theme for its Annual Adult Regional Gallery Show: When the Work is Done.  This show will be in the Gallery May 25 – July 2, 2022.

Everyone you know works hard at something. Whether it’s your 9-5, caring for your elderly parents and/or raising your own kids, or tending to your backyard garden or acres of crops, we’ve all got responsibilities that take up our time. This exhibit is all about what you do after your work is done. What does that mean, you ask? It’s totally up to you!

This is YOUR opportunity to create some art showing those feelings of accomplishment… contentment… celebration… satisfaction… or whatever you experience when the work is done!
