Artists 18 and older are invited to submit 3 pieces of original fine art for inclusion in the 2021 Gila Wild and Scenic Art Show in conjunction with this year’s Latino Conservation Week. We are also asking for snapshots of family adventures out in the wild that will be made into a slide show. Work must have completed in 2020 and come from inspiration drawn from wild space designations such as wilderness areas, wild & scenic, national & state parks, trails, and open spaces. What about these places empowers the artist to create art.
Work must be gallery ready. The exhibit is open to any media.
The show will be curated by Fred Barraza, Catherine Acosta Russo, and Diana Ingalls Leyba.
2021 Latino Conservation Week runs from July 17-25. There will be a private showing of the exhibit on July 24 that will be invitation only. The exhibit closes August 26.
Awards: To be announced… Best of show, 2nd, 3rd, and hoi polloi award.
