IMPORTANT DATES AND DEADLINES
JURY PROCESS
Jurying will be done on the basis of digital images in a jpg format only. Make sure you get the best possible image to represent your art work. Up to two works may be entered for consideration.
JUROR’S BIO
Steve Kennedy has lived and painted on Cape Cod since 1981. He went to the well-known Paier College of Art, graduating in 1981. In the fall of 1981 he moved to Cape Cod “to see what winter was like” and began painting plein air year round. Within two years he was established in the gallery scene.
Kennedy’s work is direct, honest and colorful; using both loose and tight brushstrokes. His studio works tend to be more evocative and contemplative. He is drawn to time-worn and mundane subjects, scenes others would pass by without noticing. His goal is to make these subjects noticed. Many of his works are smaller, completed in one or two paintings sessions.
Kennedy has won numerous prizes at art shows, including the:
His work is in the permanent collection of the Cape Cod Museum of Art (Dennis MA), the Cahoon Museum of American Art (Cotuit, MA), the Truro Historical Museum (North Truro, MA), Wequassett Inn & Resort (Chatham, MA), the New Haven Paint and Clay Club (New Haven, CT), as well as multiple businesses and private collections.
