SUBMISSION  IS CLOSED. WE HAVE REACHED THE 25 ARTIST LIMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST & SUPPORT. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES.

All artists, established & emerging are invited to submit work for our annual open invitation exhibition SPECTRUM. The first 25 artists to digitally submit 1 work of art will be featured in a 4 week group exhibition from March 11 - April 3!

Our goal with this exhibition is to showcase the talented artists in our community working in a broad spectrum of styles & subject matter; encouraging them to share their gifts for all to see.

This year we’re looking for work responding to the theme metamorphosis. We as individuals, as communities & as a society have been faced with many challenges & paradigm shifts as of late. We have had to reflect, grow, adapt & transform to meet & embrace our ever-changing world. Artists are invited to explore these themes & concepts through their unique point of view, subject matter & medium.

Artists-take a chance & share your artistic gifts with the world!
