Welcome to the 43rd annual Members’ Art Show & Sale. We are excited to welcome and invite you to participate in a year-end celebration of member showcased artwork. This art show transforms all gallery spaces and honors our members with an opportunity to exhibit and sell their artwork. We accept all submissions and mediums with the intent of highlighting a wide variety of artistic representation. With this in mind, we ask all members to please be attentive to the following notes for completion of submission:

All online submissions are due by Sunday, October 13, 2024 (submission page will close at 5:00pm). All artists who submitted will receive a confirmation email by Sunday, October 20, 2024.
