THIS COMMUNITY IS OUR HOME ART SHOW
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9TH-30TH, 2022
The Butler Art Center show, This Community Is Our Home, is meant to express the fundamentals of the word “community.” This means that submissions chosen for this show are welcome to showcase their own communities, and how they make them feel. For example, there are our given communities, such as our hometown or our race. But there are also our chosen communities, such as our love of animals, our gender identity, or even our love of a certain Pittsburgh-based football team. “Community” is more than a geographic marker. It is the people we connect with, the things we love, and the ways we choose to identify ourselves. This Community Is Our Home is meant to showcase the different communities out there, while simultaneously exhibiting how connected we all actually are. Artists of any age are eligible to participate; however, they must be a resident of Butler, Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Somerset, Washington or Westmoreland county in Pennsylvania.
Eligibility: Regional (Southwestern Pennsylvania)
Entry Deadline: February 25, 2022
Entry Fee: $35/artist for up to 5 pieces

Raising the Roof!
Take a piece of Stifel Fine Arts Center home! In 2019, The Oglebay Institute launched a $4.4 million capital campaign to complete critical
improvements to two of its historic properties and make other investments throughout the organization. In the summer of 2021, preservation work began on the Stifel Fine Arts Center, including the complete removal and replacement of its terra cotta tile roof. Additional campaign details are available online at http://oionline.com/capitalcampaign/ We saved some of the tiles that came off the roof, and we are asking artists to create a unique piece of artwork using these tiles. These artworks will be auctioned off to raise money to help pay for our new roof.
To Enter:
• Pick up roof tile(s) from the Stifel Fine Arts Center. January 31 - February 19 (unable to ship)
• Create a unique piece of artwork using roof tile(s) from the Stifel Fine Arts Center.
• Take a clear, well lit, high-resolution photo of the piece.
• Enter through the call “Raise the Roof!” at callforentry.org. April 20th
• Hand deliver the finished piece to the Stifel Fine Arts Center. April 25-30 (All work must be hand delivered)
• Come to the auction! Auction gala: May 7th
Artists will get 50% of the proceeds and the other 50% will go to the capital campaign. Artists are welcome to donate their proceeds back to the capital campaign as a tax-deductible donation.
