Entry Deadline for Judged Art Show EXTENDED
To allow everyone a bit longer to finish up their entries to our 2024 spring judged show “Art in Bloom”, the entry deadline is extended to Saturday, April 20. The show itself has been extended to July 30, since Degallery will be closed for a few weeks this summer. The extension gives more time for the public to view and hopefully purchase your art.
