CALL for ENTRIES: Art Institute and Gallery

MISSING YOU

Anniversary dinners with my husband used to involve picnics on the livingroom floor with mussels steamed over white wine, a beautiful Caesar salad and a bad movie. With the recent seafood allergy development, we’ve substituted antipasta for the seafood…because my anniversary would lose its sparkle if it killed my husband. We are headed toward our 13th anniversary next weekend, but this next call is in celebration of a 20th anniversary… reason to celebrate, eh?

All media is considered, and best of show is awarded $1000 and a solo exhibit. Don’t delay or you’ll miss this June 3rd deadline!
