Calling All Artists

Capital Arts is seeking artists for the upcoming Give the Gift of Art Exhibition.

If you’re an artist you don’t miss out on one of this crowd favorite. This exhibition is open and seeks works that are holiday related, winter related or just plain giftable! Don’t be afraid to bring in smaller works or works with a lower price tag. Capital Arts offers more leniency on submission fees for the small and lower-priced for this annual exhibition.
But make haste if you plan to enter! Work is to be dropped off on Wednesday October 28th or Thursday October 29th from noon to 6pm. This exhibition will be up until January 6th, 2015.
There is now free display space available in the gallery. Grab it quick before it’s gone for the season: Capital Arts retains a consignment at a 35% rate

It’s never too early to start making work for next year’s exhibitions. Check out our 2015 schedule here
