The Arlee will be participating in Slow Art Day 2024; artists are welcome to submit ONE piece (must be their own work, please) by emailing a high quality image of it to arleetheater@gmail.com no later than 7:30pm Sunday, April 7. All entries will be considered for display at either Mason City Public Library, Reimagine Mason City, or at the Arlee Theater on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Those selected for display at the library and Reimagine must be mounted or framed, or able to sit freely on a tabletop for display. Those selected for Arlee consideration will be displayed digitally. Works will be on loan for the day of the event, and participants may pick them up following it. Artists acknowledge by participating in this event, there is the risk a work may be unintentionally damaged as a result of being on display and holds harmless the host venue, its officers, staff and volunteers.
Slow Art Day 2024 selections. These pieces, all made by Central Illinois Artists (many of whom currently or used to reside in Mason City), were on display at the Mason City Public Library, Reimagine Mason City Foundation, and at the Arlee Theater.
While nearly 20 pieces were entered in to be shown, only five could be selected for the presentation. These are the final five, as they were presented at the Arlee Theater on 4/15/23.
2023 was the first year the Arlee participated in this international program.
