THE CALL
Can you hear it? Birds singing, crickets chirping, frogs croaking, waterfalls rushing, cicadas droning, kids splashing, motorcycles roaring, lawn mowers buzzing... these are the sounds that bring summer to life!
These sounds and others are accompanied by visions of what summer means to creators. We are calling artists to make a piece of work depicting their visual representation, abstract or otherwise, of the sounds of summer. It need not be a literal portrayal of bees, frogs, etc! Let your creativity roam through the warm days of this wonderful season!
Members and non-members are invited to create a visual representation, abstract or otherwise, of the sounds that define summer for them. Let your creativity flow freely, embracing the warmth and vibrancy of this special season.
This exhibition is limited to 100 submissions. Registration is required.

Three artists will receive awards: First Place – $200, Second Place – $150, and Third Place – $100.
