BIG ARTS is pleased to invite artists to submit their artwork for its annual juried exhibition in the Dunham Family Gallery. This year’s show entitled “Creative Ventures” asks artists to explore new ideas, styles, and mediums, resulting in fresh one-of-a-kind works. The popular annual exhibit is emblematic of BIG ARTS commitment to bring noteworthy artists to our community. Last years juried show featured 62 works of art that were selected from 205 total pieces of art that were submitted from around the globe.

The juried exhibit opens on January 28 and is an open-theme exhibition for artists working in painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, fiber, printmaking, etc. Artwork will be judged according to artistic merit.
