Entering Calls for Art Artists will enter all calls for art hosted at Art on 30th as well as enter at least two calls for art outside of our community for added experience and exposure. Creating + Collaborating Artists will create a body of work, a cohesive collection of art that represents their newly-developed visual voice, that contains a minimum of six pieces. Artists will also learn how to paint with other artists in the program to create and develop collaborations. |
