Exhibition: April 2 - May 19, 2022
Reception: April 9, 6-8pm 9 (awards at 7pm) CDT
We are proud to continue the longstanding tradition of our late founder Jan Sullivan. The purpose of the exhibition is to promote the creation and recognition of original quality 2-dimensional works of art, as well as ceramic arts. The exhibition attracts entries from aspiring and established artists from Northwest Indiana, Chicago suburbs and Southwest Michigan and beyond. Artist James Swanson will bring an expert eye to this year’s artwork selection process, and as juror he will help Art Barn ensure the highest standards and integrity.
Art Barn provides numerous purchase and merit awards totaling $4,000. We wish to thank the many individuals and businesses who sponsor or contribute to these cash awards. Their generosity directly supports working artists, such as yourself.
All proceeds generated from this exhibition, aside from awards, support Art Barn School of Art educational programs and exhibitions.
