SO YOU
WANNA
BE FAMOUS?
Do you want a sandwich named after you? Me too. I’m thinking mine would be a beautiful grilled cheese with a thick slab of brie and a few raspberries. But, would you settle for just having your artwork on a billboard? Yep, me too. This next Call gives you that very opportunity…
Check out this great Call for Entries for the Annual Embracing our Differences Exhibit in Sarasota, FL. And in addition to possibly getting your artwork on a billboard (making you famous, of course) …don’t forget there is NO ENTRY FEE!
*Editor’s Note: I’ve gotten a crazy number of emails lately specifically asking for public art opportunities and Calls with no entry fees. This one is a combination of both…so I am reposting.
