RI Art Educators Exhibit at WCFA

Entry Deadline:  Friday, July 25th

WCFA is seeking original works for our upcoming Rhode Island Art Educator’s Showcase, an exhibition featuring artwork from those individuals who teach art to others. Art teachers have the unique gift of merging the intricacies of mathematics, the lyricism of language, and the legacies of history in the form of visual communication. This show is intended to celebrate these educators. This show is open to all art educators in RI, including PreK-12, college/university, and adult art education.

AWARDS: $400 in cash awards: first ($200), second ($125), third ($75), and two honorable mentions.

SUBMISSION FEES: One image: $25; two or three images: $40 / WCFA Members: $5 discount / RIAEA Members: fees waived. Payments can be made by check (payable to WCFA), or credit card by phone or online. All payments are non-refundable and due at the time of submission. 

ELIGIBILITY: 

Works must be original and completed during the last 3 years; works previously exhibited at WCFA will not be accepted. All artwork(s) must be prepared and ready for hanging/display (no sawtooth hangers due to our hanging system). If the work requires a unique display other than wall hanging or pedestal (such as video) the artist must contact WCFA staff in advance to ensure that the required technology and resources are available.
