I am curious – does the art show offer any art contests? Thank you. -Jody
The Art Show is a juried exhibition, so each artist must be reviewed before the show and only artists who display their original work are allowed to participate. We are not aware of any contests during the show, but you could check with Carolyn Morris, Event Director, at (770) 592-7180.
