Pink Pearl

Pink Pearl is an all-media juried visual art exhibition exploring drawing as a foundation of art making, as well as the removal and erasing process—adding and subtracting. The acts of drawing and erasing expand to and include all media. All explorations and interpretations of this theme are invited, with all media, styles, and techniques encouraged. Open to artists 21 years of age and older living in the St. Louis, Missouri region and surrounding 200-mile radius.

Eligibility requires residency in the St. Louis region or within a 200-mile radius at the time of submission and when the show begins on September 29, 2018. Artists may submit up to 3 original artworks completed between 2015-2018 that have not been previously exhibited in any juried exhibit in the St. Louis region during the 6 months prior to the exhibit dates, nor previously exhibited at Art Saint Louis Gallery.
