USA @ 250 exhibit Call for Entry Deadline **extended to Friday, May 15th by 11:59pm.**

Capture the spirit of our nation: its past, present, and its promise for the future. In an era where it may be easy to focus on the negative, we encourage artists to create works that focus on the positive, highlighting pivotal moments, progress, resilience, or the richness that continues to shape the American experience.

The exhibit is open to all area artists. Del Ray Artisans members pay a discounted entry fee. @250
