"SUMMER"
regional juried show for san diego area artists

Picture
Theme: 
Summer. Perhaps our favorite season. Any art that honors the sunny days of summer in San Diego—palm trees, beach scenes, abstract landscapes, barbeques, the fair, baseball, concerts, frisbee dogs, beach bums, sunsets, surfboards, bikini babes, deck chairs, ice cream, sunglasses, sailboats, watermelon, veggie burgers—you get the idea. Or any art that captures the colors of summer is eligible.​
​
​​
Eligible Art:
All 2-dimensional art welcome and any 3-dimensional artwork that fits on a pedestal. Photography, fabric, and journal pages are also welcomed if prepared for hanging. Enter your art submissions online digitally or drop off in-person.

Must be original art and the artist's own work. No reproductions/giclee prints (except for photography, digital art, or printmaking which utilizes limited edition prints due to the nature of the medium).
