The Juried Art Exhibition Reception is one that is always vibrant and well attended, and we hope artists, families, friends, and community members are able to attend. Look forward to a cash bar, light bites, and +$5000 awarded to winning artists!

The purpose of this long-standing exhibition is to promote the creation and recognition of original quality 2-dimensional works of art, as well as ceramic arts. The exhibition attracts entries from established and aspiring artists from Northwest Indiana, Chicago suburbs and Southwest Michigan and beyond.
