The Smithtown Township Arts Council is seeking works ranging from the macabre to whimsical for Halloween Midnight Oils, to be held October 4 – November 7th, 2008. Open to all media. The exhibition is in celebration of art’s awesome power as a spiritual instrument that helps man to transcend his primeval fear of death and of the unknown. Juror Alain Khadem is not interested in the gratuitously gory, but in works that portray frightening subject matters in a philosophic, romantic, or humorous light. Early entry is encouraged. Entry deadline is August 15, 2008, and must be submitted as 300 ppi jpeg files on CD only. For prospectus send SASE to STAC, 660 Rte 25A, St. James, NY 11780 or visit www.stacarts.org.
