A&C Spring Exhibition 2025 | |
The A&C Board of Directors is excited to announce this year’s member show at Freeman Hall. Prospectus will be available soon!
We invite members to submit 2D and 3D works in a wide range of media. As in prior years, members may submit one piece of work for the main exhibition (in person and online) and up to two unframed portfolio pieces. All work must be for sale. We are maintaining our low 20% commission to support our organization. The show is only for A&C Members so if you’re not yet a member, this is a great time to join. Join here.
Matt DeProspero will be our juror for awards. Winning artists will be notified of their awards, and the awards will be presented on Saturday, April 26, between 3pm and 5pm at our opening reception. Members will have the chance to meet and mingle with other members while enjoying light refreshments.
We will be asking entrants to sign up for volunteer positions when they drop off art. Volunteering is a fun way to interact with other members and to support the A&C’s work to bring art to the public.
