Finally, we have made some changes to our community galleries and showcases. These changes were made to help our staff continue to expand access to arts while maintaining a high standard of presentation. Please read the prospectus carefully and contact us if you have any questions.

The biggest change we would like to announce is that digital works will now be accepted into our community galleries. Works that are painted/illustrated, rendered and edited digitally will be accepted into community showcases. Please note that AI works will NOT be accepted and works suspected of AI use will be asked to verify their process. Digital works must be printed at the best resolution available, framed and ready to hang. They must comply with sizing requirements outlined in the prospectus.
