Call for Art
We are excited to announce our first 2D art exhibit!
Dec 7-14

- Space is limited, but every effort will be made to include at least 1 piece of artwork in the exhibit per applicant. There is the possibility of including more than 1 work per applicant as space permits.
- If space becomes full, applicants will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
- There is no cost to submit artwork, and the theme is Artist’s Choice.

- However, works submitted must be family-friendly and appropriate for display in a church space.
- Works will be for display only, not for sale; but you will have an opportunity to provide website or other personal information so that fans of your artwork know where to go to see more.
