Remember to renew your membership for 2020, so that you can enter our exciting exhibitions in 2020! Let me tell you about the exhibitions that we have scheduled to date:
Our first exhibition called Small Works will be during the month of February at the Red River Theatres, Concord, NH, which is a gallery that has great sales potential! Information for entering Small Works is currently on our website
www.wcanh.org. Click the "For Prospectus" above. Check it out!!
The exhibition following Small Works will be called, "Breath of the Forest". It will be in April and May at the NH Audubon's McLane Center in Concord, NH. This show has a nature theme. For example, we would like landscapes (without buildings), wildlife, or wildflowers. Two-Dimensional artwork 16 x 20 or smaller will be accepted for this show. The prospectus will be online in February.
In the month of August, we are planning a juried show at VynnArt Gallery in Meredith, NH. This gallery has great sales potential from tourists as well as local folks. The theme has not been decided yet, but we wanted to give you a heads up!
