Kenai Art Center accepting submissions for ‘Medieval Forest’

The deadline to submit art is Saturday at 5 p.m.

The Kenai Art Center will be accepting submissions for its March show, “Medieval Forest,” until Saturday, Feb. 24 at 5 p.m.

The center is looking for “forest themed work” for the show, which will double as a backdrop for TreeFort Theatre’s production of “Marian (or the True Tale of Robin Hood)” which will be performed at the center during March.

Information posted by the center online says “think: medieval cottages, castles, flora and fauna.”

Art can be brought to the center during its gallery hours, Wednesday through Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. A submission form must be filled out, available either at the center or from its website.

The March show, “Medieval Forest,” will open March 1, with a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

For more information, visit kenaiartcenter.org or find “Kenai Art Center” on Facebook.
