HERKIMER — Herkimer College is slated to host Makers of the Mohawk Valley, an exhibition celebrating the artists, crafters, and other makers living and working in the Mohawk Valley this fall.

The goal of the exhibit, which will open Sept. 2 and run through Oct. 14, is to showcase the diverse richness of makers in this region, Herkimer College officials said, adding that organizers are calling for contributors.

Submission is free and is open to anyone 18 years of age or older and who lives or works in the Mohawk Valley. Contributors can submit up to two pieces created within the last three years, spanning mediums such as 2D and 3D fine arts, pottery, photography, video, textile arts, glass, and woodworking.

All submissions must be ready to display; 2D work should be ready to hang; and 3D work must be no larger than 72 inches in any direction. Video art must be accompanied by its own interface. Artists have the option of selling their work with Herkimer College retaining 20% of all sales.

Artwork drop off must be hand delivered and will be accepted from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 25-26, and from 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 29. An entry form must be completed by time of drop off. Forms will be available on site, at Herkimer.edu/cogar, or by request by emailing Assistant Professor of Studio Art Justin Como at: comojm@herkimer.edu.
