Hi all,

The deadline to submit your artwork to the 9th Annual ISAP International Open Online exhibition is August 1. Mark your calendars.

Also, Artwork Archive, one of our supporters, has created a new call for entry page on their site. Our call is listed as well as many other exhibitions you may be interested in. Check it out. Here's what Artwork Archive has to say...

Artwork Archive has spent nearly a decade building a thriving community of artists and generating informative resources to help artists excel in their careers. There are a lot of great resources out there for calls, but it can be challenging to find opportunities that are relevant. We wanted to create something that made it easier for artists to find what they are looking for. Artists will find a curated list of workshops, retreats, exhibitions, grants and more.
