We are still working on a schedule, but here are the basics of what you need to know regarding our Spring Juried Show.
.
ADVENTURE AHEAD | Travel Journal
Top Prize $1,000
.
All of our juried shows consist of 2 parts. In addition to the actual artwork, we require a written statement about the piece that describes how it fits the specific theme. This show is no different. We are looking for your favorite travel destination plus a written description of the location. The journal part of your entry can simply be the text you submit with your art that will be displayed alongside your artwork if accepted into the show. Subjects could consist of streets, cities, landscapes, statues, food, window shops, doorways/alleys, people, animals, seascapes and more.
.
Artwork representing a traditional travel journal is also completely acceptable. Hand-written text paired with imagery of the locale, keepsakes from the trip, maps, etc. all painted or drawn, of course. Even if text appears in your artwork, you are still required to submit a written statement specific to each entry.
.
ACCEPTED MEDIA
2-dimensional, Oil, acrylic, colored pencil, watercolor, pastel, charcoal and/or mixed media. No photography. No sculpture. If you are using a media not mentioned, please contact us for verification that we are accepting it.

——————————————–

We thank each of you that took the time to vote in our poll and for casting a single vote as asked for your favorite theme. Unfortunately, we had a few individuals who circumvented the one vote restriction and attempted to skew the results. The numbers in the parentheses are the number of fraudulent votes deducted from each category to give the final total. Be assured that going forward any poll we post will have the voting log checked by hand for any irregularities. More details to come about the show!
