About the Juried Art Show
We invite you to submit your artwork to our 53rd annual juried art show. This is the cornerstone of the Pembroke Arts Festival, and typically every year hundreds of visitors come to the Pembroke Rec Center to view the amazing diversity of pieces on display.
This year we will have an online gallery, with submissions and jurying being conducted through Smarter Entry. The Pembroke Arts Festival may be Virtual this year but there are many Real Prizes, thanks to our sponsors! SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS SUNDAY, AUGUST 2nd!

​
With other wives, Delores Quill joined with the directors in 1968 in the very first Arts Festival, assisting them in the preparations for the proposed three-day event. She helped line up volunteers to pass out programs and to man the raffle and donation bowls. She assisted in setting up the art exhibits in the two tents, labeling, and making sure the artists got their works returned. She helped in numerous other behind-the-scenes activities that made the first festival memorable and worth doing annually. She continued in these activities for several subsequent years.
