The 2021 edition of The Great Wall of Honesdale, the Wayne County landmark of billboard-size art. has issued An open call for artists.

Now entering its sixth season, this year’s theme is “Saturated (as in color),” and artists in all mediums are encouraged to submit their work. A grant from the John & Helen Villaume Foundation means that artist participation in 2021 will be free of charge.

The twelve 11-by-17-foot vinyl panels installed at the end of Main Street in downtown Honesdale will premiere in June, remain on display for a year, and be seen by more than 100,000 vehicles a week. All artists are permanently featured on the Great Wall website and are invited to participate in “Off the Wall,” a show of their original art at the WCAA’s Main Street Gallery in Honesdale.

The deadline for submissions is March 15. For further information and complete details about how to make submissions, visit “The Great Wall” at WayneCountyArtsAlliance.org.
