CALL for ENTRIES: Tallahassee International

CHOCOLATE
dreams

I’m waiting for Valentine’s Day chocolates to be in the stores any day now. After all, Christmas decorations were out before Halloween. If my husband ever bought me a cheesy box of chocolates for this faux-holiday, I would fall on the floor in shock. Chocolate? Sure. Heart shaped box? Not yet, thankfully. I appreciate that corporate America creates holidays so that we can all schedule time to tell those we love how much they mean, but it doesn’t mean you have to celebrate the way they tell you to. This next Call is a much better way to celebrate Valentine’s day. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Museum of Fine Arts at FSU (Tallahassee, FL) for the 28th Annual Tallahassee International Juried Competition. The entry fee is really low, and these folks have had lots of experience to get this show right over the years. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this one…
