Tips
2023’s jury process will include a preliminary on-line jury of 10 images followed by an invitation to finalists to present work and interview with the Board of Directors for final selection of new Artist Members. We will adhere to any and all current health restrictions at that time, so we ask for your patience and flexibility.
