Artists: Call for Entries
Calling all visual artists!
Pop-Up Art Displays utilize empty Narberth retail spaces while they are between tenants. Artworks brighten underutilized spaces and bring visual interest to vacant storefronts which would otherwise be dark and unwelcoming. Pop-Up Art Displays provide a "blank canvas" on which emerging and professional artists can experiment. Rotating displays ensure there is always something new to see in Narberth, encouraging residents and visitors alike to explore with curiosity.
We are now accepting submissions of original artwork for ongoing Pop-Up Art Displays in Narberth storefronts.
