SAN MARCOS – A new Call for Art focusing on women and their art is underway for a new gallery show coming to the Price Center in San Marcos in conjunction with International Women’s Day March 8. The show, titled “From Challenge Comes Change,” is open to all area women and those who identify as female. Plans call for a virtual and in-person show as well as a virtual celebration on March 8. Due to the popularity of last year’s show, artists are limited to one submission only. Works will be accepted Jan. 25 and Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
This is an all-media show, works must be family-friendly and ready to hang. (3-D works also encouraged.) A $10 application fee is due at time of submission and 20% of any artwork sales goes to assist with operating the nonprofit community center.
“We were pleased to see so many high-quality and diverse works last year,” said Joan Nagel, Arts Committee Chair. “The crowd and spirit shared at the opening reception was even more heartwarming,” she said.
Additional details about the virtual celebration on March 8 and the community art project that will be included with the effort are in development.
Community Art Shows are conducted by the Price Center Art’s Committee and funded in part through a grant from the San Marcos Arts Commission.
