Show your work at our gallery in our Un-Juried Competition: Snap to Grid. In our sixth annual exhibition of this kind participants each upload one image to be printed on high quality paper and hung in a grid in our gallery. The show will be widely promoted and will include a reception for the artists.

The website has grown so fast in the month that it has been active, and we've had so many requests for additional information and events happening around the city, that we've decided to host our own event with some of our favorite artists from the site.

We have taken submissions from many of our artists and are finalizing the details of the show this week. Due to space limitations we were not able to include everyone for this next show, but there will be plenty more shows beginning in 2010.

Check the site often for updated information on our group shows including event listings and information, submission requests for future shows, etc. We will maintain this blog for general information, but we will also utilize the forums to interact with members and discuss details.

Thanks for being a part of the site. See you at the next show!
