Submission deadline: February 16, 2022

WCFA is seeking original works for our upcoming juried exhibit, “Outside In” featuring artwork influenced by our outside environment.

The show will run from Saturday, March 5 – Saturday, April 2, 2022. During this colder, darker time of year, we find ourselves inside more often than not. Inspired by the plein air tradition, this show challenges you to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside our gallery. Whether it is the sun casting shadows on woodland trees, waves crashing on jagged rocks, a skier gliding down a snowy peak or a glint of sunlight through an urban alleyway, the outdoors never ceases to delight and invigorate us.

All media are welcome, including but not limited to painting, drawing, photography, digital art, mixed media and sculpture. (Works are NOT required to be created en plein air). The show will be juried by Sam Green
