Through a variety of exhibitions using different mediums this program mentors emerging artists and assists in increasing their public exposure. Are you interested?

Not quite ready for a solo exhibition? Get your artist friends together and submit a proposal for a group show of 1-5 artists. Each artist should complete an application and indicate that they are applying as part of a group and include the other participating artists' names.
