Artwork Needed for the set of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
We are looking to collaborate with local fine artists in our next production at Theatre In The Park. We would like a wide variety of donated art pieces with different art styles and mediums to be displayed in our upcoming play Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. The artwork chosen from your submissions would be displayed on the walls of the Drayton home and would be the main décor on the set for our scenic design. The artwork would be lit throughout the production dependent on the needs of the show. Along with your artwork being displayed in the production, we would also like to highlight each of the artists that submit work in our show playbill. Our production takes place is set in 1967, however, we are not limiting the artwork by time period. While we would love to showcase everyone’s work, we have limited space. We look forward to seeing your artwork and having the opportunity to work with you to bring our newest production to life. See below for more specific details.
