Making Your Mark: Providence Art Club National Open Juried Exhibition

The Providence Art Club invites female artists to submit their strongest two and three-dimensional work in any media to the Making Your Mark National Open Juried Exhibition. This exhibition celebrates the achievements of contemporary female artists and honors the women integral to the founding of the Providence Art Club in 1880, when six women and ten men signed the founding documents. The exhibition will be held April 2-21, 2017 at the Maxwell Mays Gallery.

Eligibility is open to artists who identify as female and are working in the United States. The entry fee is $35 ($25 for PAC members).
