Seneca Rocks Discovery Center, in cooperation with the Eastern National Forest Interpretive Association, seeks artists and artisans to exhibit their traditional Appalachian crafts or contemporary artwork related to Monongahela National Forest during the 2024 season. Also, in addition to visual artists, the Seneca Rocks Discovery Center seeks individuals or groups who demonstrate performative arts, like traditional dance, spoken word or short theatrical performances.
“We love showcasing the talents of local artists and artisans at the Seneca Rocks Discovery Center. Artists have a special way of connecting visitors to the landscape and cultural heritage of the Appalachians,” said Mandy Harmon, Seneca Rocks Discovery Center Assistant Director.
All artists are asked to submit a small portfolio of their work with up to five attached images or a link to an online portfolio. For more information or to submit your portfolio, contact Mandy Harmon at mary-amanda.harmon@usda.gov.
