Beloit Art Center:

March Exhibits

On Friday, March 7, the Center will host a First Friday Gallery Reception from 5-7pm, with an awards ceremony beginning at 6pm.

This month’s exhibit is sponsored by

Nowlan Personal Injury Law.

78 pieces of art will be exhibited during the month of March at the Beloit Art Center's 14th annual juried photography contest. Amateur photographers from the region submitted images to be reviewed by a group of three jurors.

Each individual reviews the digital entries and gives them a score based on composition, creativity and subject matter, and technical merit. The three scores are then tallied, determining the images that are accepted into the exhibit. The final in-person juror critique occurs after the images are delivered to the gallery. The results are kept under wraps until the night of the reception, at which time the top ten awards are presented, with the first-place award winner receiving $150, second place $100 and third place $50. A theme for next year’s exhibit will also be announced. The exhibit will be open for viewing from March 7 through March 27.
