CALL for ENTRIES: Chelsea Fine Art in NY

**DON’T FREEZE ME OUT**

I would love to have $3800 to spend on my kitchen, but on first thought, $38,000 would cause my head to implode with all the possibilities. But, if forced, I’m thinking this gorgeous $16,000 refrigerator would make a nice start. Yeah, yeah, I feel your judgement. Gimme a break. Can’t a girl dream of perfectly temperature control without the disdain of consumer shame? This next Call for Entries won’t give you the whole $38,000 in cash, but the awards are nothing to sneeze at.

Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Agora Gallery in New York City for the annual Chelsea International Fine Art Competition. The prizes are SPECTACULAR, and the entry fee is as little as $7 per piece. Don’t miss this opportunity…
