This March, the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve (AAWR) welcomes the return of its Annual Members Exhibition, featuring over 100 pieces by its accomplished member artists, hung salon-style in the gallery.
This show presents an exciting diversity of voices and media, as each artist is able to contribute 1 original work under 24” for display.
In years past, submissions have ranged from traditionally inspired portraits and oils, to evocative, multi-media assemblages and digital creations. Visitors may vote for their favorite piece for the duration of the show. The four most nominated artists will receive cash prizes at the Closing Reception & Awards Ceremony directly following the Annual Members Meeting.
