The Mosesian Center for the Arts invites member artists to submit original two and three-dimensional work to our upcoming 2018 Member Exhibition. In our on-going effort to provide meaningful opportunities to artists, a panel of guest jurors from North East regional galleries will jury a “Best in Show” cash prize. Each member is guaranteed at least one piece in the show. Additional pieces will be included pending available space and jury outcomes.
The Opening Reception for this year’s Member Exhibition will coincide with The Mosesian Center for the Arts Annual Meeting. The “Best in Show” cash prize award will be announced that evening.
