EXHIBIT:
Mysteries, puzzles, and treasure are hidden in the details of practically everything. When we notice the small stuff, fascinating things can happen. When we don’t, the unexpected can strike. Whether we catch the details or are surprised as things unfold, an artistic interpretation can shed beauty in even the darkest nook and cranny.
The Fee is $35 for up to 3 entries. Entry fees are non-refundable and must be paid by the entry deadline. If you have an accepted piece that you choose not to show, you will not be eligible for submitting to WAM juried shows for three years. No substitutions may be made once work is juried into the show. Work presented should be considered for general viewing audiences of all ages.
