Artists, do you want your work to receive broad exposure and possibly sell?  If so, enter your artwork for exhibition at one of the County’s most visited locations.

“Local Treasures” is the theme for the 2008 summer/fall exhibition. Artists are encouraged to submit works inspired by the flora, fauna and natural places of Palm Beach County’s unique environment. In order for entries to be considered for selection, the content presented must reflect the exhibition theme.
