Applications Open: Locals Only Juried Art Exhibition
Deadline: Sunday, March 23
The Locals Only Juried Art Exhibition is back for the second year!
This year’s juried exhibition invites our community's artists to explore the theme of Perspective—whether through literal viewpoints, personal interpretations, or conceptual explorations of perception itself.
How does perspective influence our understanding of a subject, an idea, or an experience? From bold visual angles and depth to cultural viewpoints and personal reflections, this theme encourages artists to bring their unique lens to their work.
We welcome a wide range of artistic styles and mediums that interpret perspective in unexpected, thought-provoking, and engaging ways for grades Kindergarten through Seniors.
Show us how you see the world—because every perspective matters.
