Mansfield Arts Advisory Committee finalizes juried show logistics; artist reception set for May 22
Summary
The Mansfield Arts Advisory Committee confirmed logistics for its April juried art show — including drop‑off dates (April 10–11), judging (April 13), and an artist reception May 22 at Lenard Hall — and assigned tasks to MPRD staff.
The Mansfield Arts Advisory Committee on April 1 confirmed operational details for its upcoming juried art show and related events. MPRD staff were assigned to notify accepted artists, manage artist drop‑off on April 10–11 and juror materials for judging on April 13, and to prepare a program book, artist list and prize ribbons and gift cards.
Committee members recorded that one applicant, Elizabeth Byers, had a poem entry titled “a desperate bloom” rejected while a flower image she submitted was accepted for display. David (listed in the meeting notes) was assigned responsibility for art labels.
Show dates were listed as April 11–May 30, 2026, and the committee scheduled an artist reception for May 22, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in Lenard Hall, where juried awards and judge recognitions will be presented. The committee also noted a Plein Air community display and related promotional materials; committee member D. Pelto said she will attend Plein Air events scheduled May 16, May 18 and May 28, 2026.
The minutes record that MPRD Staff (B. Burns) will handle artist notifications and drop‑off logistics. The meeting also reminded artists that display applications are available online for both the Mansfield Community Center and Lenard Hall.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include MPRD staff completing the juror folder and program materials, and preparing prize ribbons and gift cards for award presentation at the reception.
