Medium: Digital Art/Theme: Celebrations
Submission Deadline: Wednesday, December 22, 2021.

The pandemic has shown us the importance of celebrating special occasions with family and friends. We may see more value in observing rites of passage such as births, birthday parties, weddings, and even funerals. This digital art exhibit (in conjunction with regional potter Betsy Saurdiff) celebrates the idea that we can once again get together and celebrate!
Student digital art will be around the theme of celebrations, gatherings, and rituals. All work will be original digital artwork that will be submitted to fit an 8.5 x 11 frame. Frames will be provided.
