Calling all artists! I keep reading about upcoming art festivals and events that are still accepting artists submissions, and I wanted to pass along the information to all the artists out there. Most of the submissions are due by the end of the month, so there are a few weeks left. If you know of any other galleries or organizations looking for work from new artists, please send the info our way! I love to support the local arts.
