The exhibit theme is Personal Best. Artists often have one or more artworks they consider to be their best works.

Artists are invited to submit up to three (3) entries of original artwork that relate to the theme. All media are eligible for the exhibit with the exceptions of video, wearable clothing, or jewelry, due to gallery restrictions. Certificates of Recognition will be given for Best in Show (1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd place). Certificates of Attendance will be prepared for Licensed Creative Arts Therapists (LCAT). Artworks should be submitted electronically, via email. The due date for submissions to be in my email: pstjohn@cnr.edu is December 10, 2018. Entrance fee: $35. Your selected works of art will be on view in the Mooney Center Gallery from January 24 March 2, 2019, with a Closing Reception on Saturday, March 2, 2019.
