About the Exhibition

East End Arts Council is proud to present GLIMMER, the 2027 Elizabeth Richard Memorial Members’ Show, celebrating the creativity, imagination, and artistic diversity of our East End community.

As the first exhibition of the new year, the annual Members’ Show brings together artists of all disciplines, each offering a unique interpretation of a shared theme. This beloved exhibition highlights the extraordinary range of creative expression among East End Arts Council members and the connections that art inspires throughout our community.

For 2027, the theme is GLIMMER, an exploration and celebration of light in all its forms.

Light can inspire, reveal, transform, and connect. From shimmer, reflection, and radiance to glow, shadow, and illumination, GLIMMER invites artists to consider how light influences what we see, what we feel, and how we experience the world around us.

Whether interpreted literally, symbolically, or abstractly, each artwork offers an opportunity to illuminate the familiar, shift perspectives, and reveal something new.

Call for Artists: Be Part of GLIMMER

East End Arts Council invites member artists of all disciplines to submit one original artwork that creatively interprets the theme of light.

Artists are encouraged to explore the concept through their own artistic vision, medium, and creative process. Painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and other artistic disciplines are welcome.
