Prospectus for November 2016 Juried Exhibition:
“Root to Bloom: The Places Artists Call Home”
Timeline:
The deadline for submission is Wednesday, September 28th, 2016.

Accepted work must be framed arrive at the gallery no later than Friday, November 4th. The opening reception will be Friday, November 11th and unsold works will be on display through December 9th.
Theme:
“Root to Bloom: Places Artists Call Home” will feature paintings representative of where the featured artists call “home.” This theme can be applied to a range of views, from a studio interior to a street scene, from a rural landscape to an aerial view of city or countryside—just to name a few examples. This flexibility also applies to the time in your (the artist’s) life: whether the painting depicts the location of your birth, somewhere you spent a considerable amount of time, or the locale where you currently live, all of these options you are welcome to choose from for your subject matter.
We are pleased to announce that one of our “hometown” legends here in the DC area, renowned artist Teresa Oaxaca, will act as a juror for this exhibition.
