Each selected artist will be allotted locked case in the gallery that measures 8’ long x 44’’ high x 4’’ wide.
We always welcome artists of all ages to apply. Collaborative groups, student groups, art classes, and kids are also encouraged to apply.

Designed and printed postcards for distribution by the artist. 3. Promotion of artist through various media sources (including but not limited to Facebook, Common Ground Monthly Newsletter, our website, print materials, etc).
