🍂🎨 GOOD NEWS — WE’RE EXTENDING THE ENTRY DEADLINE! 🎨🍂
We’re giving artists one more opportunity to enter our annual Fall Art Show!
We will now be accepting entries Thursday, September 3 through Sunday, September 6, from noon–4 p.m. Entries may also be made by appointment if you can’t make it during those hours.
🇺🇸 This year’s theme is AMERICA, with three categories:
1. Landscapes of America
Your landscape does NOT have to be a famous place! A national park, city street, local lake, family farm, hometown, or favorite Ozarks view—all are part of the American landscape.
2. Symbols & Icons of America
Think beyond the flag and bald eagle! This category includes animals, objects, places, traditions, landmarks, foods, occupations, and other images that represent or evoke American life, history, culture, or identity.
A baseball glove, an old barn, Route 66, a cowboy, a quilt, a diner, a red pickup—or the bald eagle itself—could all be part of this category. If it makes you think, “That’s America,” we want to see it!
3. Portraits of America
Your subject does NOT have to be famous. Family members, friends, neighbors, farmers, teachers, workers, veterans, children, and everyday Americans all help tell the American story.
🇺🇸 America is more than famous places, famous people, and official symbols. It is the places we live, the things we value, and the people who make up our communities.
So pull out that painting you’ve been meaning to enter, finish that piece sitting on your easel, or create something new!
❤️🤍💙 We’d love to see YOUR vision of America!
📅 NEW ENTRY DATES: September 3–6
