CALL for ENTRIES: National Juried Art Show

I love National and International juried art shows.  As much as I love a theme, I also love the sort of County Fair idea of the best and the brightest that the art world has to offer all lined up for the viewer regardless of media, content or technique.  I’m not suggesting a low-brow affair or a pie-eating contest.  I simply applaud the optimism is takes to put on a show expecting the spectacular arrival of little (and big) gems from parts unknown.

Check out the 14th Annual National Juried Art Show from Gallery West in Alexandria, Virginia–just a stone’s throw from Washington, DC.  Here’s a great chance to pay a reasonable entry fee, for your work to be reviewed by a well-respected juror to possibly be shown in a great gallery.  It is a perfect combination.
