Currently accepting submissions.
We have standardized the deadlines for our exhibits. During the month prior to each exhibit, submissions will be due by the 15th. Artists will be notified of their accepted works by the 20th, and the matted and framed pieces will be due by the 30th. We ask that artists pick up any pieces that have not sold by the 5th of the month after the end of an exhibit.
For example, for our April/May show, Spring to Life, we ask that pieces be submitted by the 15th of March. Artists will be notified by the March 20th, and will need to deliver their chosen pieces by March 30th, allowing us to have the exhibit ready for display by April first. Works will be displayed for April and May, and artists will be asked to pick up any unsold pieces by the 5th of June.
