Confluence Art Gallery invites submissions for its Confluence of Expression: Wildlife Exhibition, an online juried art and photography exhibition. Accepted entries will be exhibited online and winning entries be on exhibit at Green Door Art Gallery in St Louis, Missouri. For this exhibit, artists and photographers are encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of wildlife.
