Fantastical Flora and Fauna Regional Juried Online Exhibition

This online regional juried exhibition celebrates imaginative visions of fantastical flora and fauna. The South Haven Center for the Arts invites artists to submit work inspired by Frida Kahlo's garden at Casa Azul and the indigenous Mexican plants and animals that inspired her paintings.

Each submission requires a JPEG image, title, and brief statement explaining how the piece relates to the theme. The juror is Stephanie Lewis Robertson, Program Chair for Fine Arts at Ivy Tech Community College.
