Theme: Abstract – art which uses a visual language of form, color and lines to create a composition that may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. This departure from representation can be partial or it can be complete. For this exhibition, we encourage artists to submit work with a larger degree of independence from visual references.

The exhibition chair may refuse any entry on the grounds of poor condition or oversized artwork.
