CALL for ENTRIES: Nat’l Juried Exhibition 2011

SERVED
with LOVE

Sometimes there’s no food better than a home-cooked meal. When our son is out of town visiting grandparents, Jon and I frequently eat out or eat fast meals with little regard for formality or the dining room table. But, inevitably, the best meal is always the first one back at home at the dining room table… even if it ends up just being chicken and rice, again. This next Call is the art equivalent of a home-cooked meal because it is almost in my back yard. Support local arts…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Arts & Culture Alliance for the National Juried Exhbition of 2011. This is a great show run by a great organization. I’ve shown here several times. Take a look…
