About the Annual Juried Exhibition

Arts on Main invites artists of every medium and level to submit up to three works of art for the Annual Juried Exhibition, opening March 20th, 2020. The exhibit will run through April 24th, with the potential of a number of works being selected for our Annual “Art & Flowers” exhibition which celebrates the beauty of spring with live floral arrangements inspired by select works.
