Preparations are now under way for the Cultural Resources Council’s 2012 On My Own Time business & the arts program, presented in cooperation with Everson Museum of Art! On My Own Time celebrates the creative skills of employees of Central New York businesses who are visual artists “on their own time.” This unique program will mark its 39th anniversary in Syracuse this year! Any size business or organization may participate. Small businesses may choose to participate in a partnership with another business.

Details: Employees of On My Own Time businesses submit their visual works of art to each company coordinator in the spring, and an exhibit of their work is mounted at each workplace during April or May. Any original works in a visual medium, such as paintings, drawings, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, metal work, or wood work, created in the last 3 years, may be submitted. The art is adjudicated at the work site exhibits by On My Own Time judges. Selected pieces from each work site display will become part of a special exhibit at the Everson Museum of Art, where an opening reception will be held in Fall 2012. A catalog highlighting each participating business is distributed to the public throughout the month-long run of the Everson Museum of Art exhibit, including photographs of some of the selected works from each business.

To join On My Own Time 2012, or for more information, please call 315.435.2162, e-mail OMOT@mycnyarts.org or visit www.mycnyarts.org. A kickoff luncheon will be held in late March. Program registration deadline is Friday, April 6, 2012.
