DISCOVERERS
ANONYMOUS
Have you ever discovered a little something unknown to most of your friends and family and felt compelled to tell EVERYONE? Me too. Of course my discoveries are usually food related. However, there are a significant number of galleries and curators that devote a portion of their exhibit space and time solely to Emerging Artists.
Check out this great Call for Entries brought to you by SlowArt Productions. Emerging Artists’ work will be showcased at the Limner Gallery in Hudson, NY. The entry fee is reasonable and prizes include both cash and publication awards! Don’t delay…
