January Gallery Art Show
CALL FOR ARTISTS
Did the word inspire a visual or did the visual inspire words? The synergy between words and visuals leads to thought provoking art in any medium.
Your artwork may be inspired by poetry, lyrics, or stories. Or maybe....your poetry, lyrics and stories are inspired by visuals.
All mediums accepted and must be display ready. All artwork must meet the gallery show criterion.

We’re giving away a quilt in December of 2023. The quilt was made by Millie Bloomer and donated to us by Mary Pearson.

You can put a slip of paper in the jar for each time:

You teach a class.
You make a purchase from one of our galleries.
You curate a show.
