Shoreline Arts Festival/Juried Art Show: Call for Artists

Call for artists for the
Shoreline Arts Festival
Artist: Lentini

From the Shoreline Arts Council

The Juried Art Exhibit is one of the highlights of the Shoreline Arts Festival.

It features over 300 artworks from regional artists in 2D, 3D, and photography.

We award over $2000 in cash prizes and merchandise prizes. Winners are announced at 11:00 am on Saturday in the Shoreline Room.

Each year, the Arts Council has also purchased work for our Portable Works Collection, which has grown to over 50 pieces, and they are shown at many public buildings in our community.

Please visit our website for a full prospectus and online registration form.
