A Final Call for Artists for Fenimores Annual Art by the Lake Event
Cooperstown, New York – Fenimore Art Museum’s annual summer art invitational, Art by the Lake, will again take place outdoors on the Museum’s expansive back lawn overlooking Otsego Lake on Saturday, August 21 from 10:00am–5:00pm. The Museum is still accepting artist submissions and has extended the deadline for registrations to June 13. To apply, please visit fenimoreartmuseum.org/news/abtl.
Due to the pandemic, Art by the Lake was held virtually in 2020 and it was anticipated to remain virtual this season. The decision to return to an in-person event was prompted by the recent easing of state guidelines pertaining to outdoor functions. The event will revert to a virtual event if future conditions and guidelines demand. Safety for our staff and visitors is our highest priority. Fenimore will continue to follow and enforce established COVID-19 protocols for masking and social distancing as required by New York State.
