Food For Thought

DISTRICT Arts, a contemporary art gallery located in downtown Frederick, MD, presents "Food For Thought," an independently juried exhibition seeking original 2D or 3D visual art that challenges viewers and gives them something to think about.

Artists may submit up to 3 pieces for jurying. Entry fees are $25 for one submission, $30 for two, and $35 for three. A maximum of 3 original works created within the past three years may be entered. Accepted artists will have only their highest scoring work in the show. Works previously exhibited in a juried or featured artist show at DISTRICT Arts are not eligible. 2D works may not exceed 60 inches in width or height, including frame, and must be ready to hang with wire. 3D works must fit a 12" square or 12" x 18" pedestal or be freestanding. All work must be visibly signed by the artist and include edition numbers for hand-pulled prints, photography, or digital art. Works must be priced for sale. Photography and digital art must be limited in edition to no more than 150.
