Artists are encouraged to submit sketches with a Sag Harbor theme for what is called the Schiavoni Project, at the new building going up at 31 Long Island Avenue.

All work will remain the artists', and each will receive permission for one year to show the work in the new building. All work must be made within 40 miles of Sag Harbor and must be received by Aug. 15 for a final decision to be made by Labor Day. No religious or political themes will be accepted.

For more information, Dave Schiavoni can be called at 631-723-9050.
