About the Exhibition
FALC Master Artists have two opportunities for the Masters at the Mayton Call for Art this holiday season.
Holiday Montage
First, we are asking each FALC Master Artist to create one 12” x 12” unframed and unwired painting on 3/4 inch gallery wrapped canvas (or same sized other substrate) with a seasonal or holiday theme. We will create a grid/montage display for the big lobby wall at the Mayton with these works, similar to the cover art for this call. We will attach each painting to the wall using Velcro or a similar mechanism so as not to put holes in the wall. Each artist's work will be displayed and will be for sale for no less than $700. (Thank you to Lyudmila Tomova Clark for the idea!)
First Floor Hallways Exhibition
Second, the current Masters artwork in cubbies in the Mayton lobby comes down on November 16 so that the Mayton can install its annual holiday décor in the cubbies. At this time, we are not planning a formal call to replace the artwork on the walls or in the hallways until 2027. However, if you have some work you would like to submit now, please do so. We can swap it out on November 16. A holiday theme is acceptable but not required.
We will be installing another complete Masters exhibition on January 4, 2027 once the Mayton removes its holiday décor from the lobby. Be on the lookout for that call later this year.
General Maximum Sizes for art in the hallways for The Mayton Masters Exhibition are as follows. Again, these measurements are generalities. Ask us if you have a particular space in mind.
