ArtInPlace: Public Art Competition in Charlottesville, Va. C2D

Art has the power to show us our familiar world in new ways. We love Charlottesville and want to see it through the artist's eye. Artists are asked to submit two-dimensional work, (less than 3ft square and 20lbs) mounted and ready to hang, representing their view of the essence of Charlottesville. All work submitted will be hung. A $10 entry fee per work is required. We want the artists to explore their passion for the community which is their home. It is our hope that this event offers a special opportunity for artists of every age. ArtInPlace retains the right to refuse to accept work deemed inappropriate.
