Confluence of Expression

Under DESCRIPTION enter the title of your photograph or art and tell us where on the river it was created. EXAMPLE: Sunset over the Clark Bridge, near Alton, IL. Paintings inspired by the river and surrounding areas, 3D art using materials from the river area or are inspired by the river. We encourage a broad range of subject matter for the exhibit.

Subject matter could include: the river, riverscapes and special places, all seasons, weather conditions, day and night; river wildlife, habitat influenced by the river, the environment and ecology, river recreation, people living working and playing on the river, river commerce including all facets of commerce along the river and people that work on the river.

The Mississippi River does not need to appear in the art, but the subject must directly relate to the river. As an example, wildlife such as eagles or trumpeter swans may be soaring above the river, but the river is not seen. This would be considered an acceptable entry.
