Winter Festival of Art 2021: Finding Joy
February 27, 2021
February 27, 2021
The theme for the Eighth Annual Winter Festival of Art is Finding Joy. The exhibition title is self-explanatory. Joy is what we all need, at this time. We invite you, our Members, to submit an artwork that you enjoyed making and that brings a smile to your face. A piece, that you will always cherish as a fond reminder of an event, person, or situation. The possibilities are endless. It simply has to be the most joyful work that you have ever done!
We want our visitors to come to the exhibition space and feel that their everyday stress and pressures of the realities they are currently facing are melting away. The intent is that they leave the exhibition feeling uplifted and with a smile on their face. Art has the ability to provide feelings of peacefulness, contemplation, and calmness. Every moment in which we find joy these days is to be celebrated. What better way than through art!
Finding Joy will open to the public on February 27, 2021. Unfortunately, we will not host a public opening. Instead, we will host an online live event, open to all to celebrate art and our talented Members. Details about the deadlines and the opening event will follow.
