The Shelby County Arts council is now accepting art submissions for the 2020 Adult Juried Art Exhibit.

Artists can submit work in the categories of drawing, painting, 3D, mixed-media and photography.

This competition is open to all Alabama residents 18 years old and up.

Artwork that is accepted to the show will be on display in the Shelby County Arts Council’s new EBSCO Fine Art Gallery from Jan. 23, 2020-March 6, 2020.

“We are looking for a vast variety of art that showcases the talent Alabama has to offer,” SCAC Executive Director Bruce Andrews said. “Show us what you’ve got!”

There will be cash awards for winners in “Best in Show” and best in each medium category. The 2020 exhibit will be judged by Alabama artist Brian Edmonds.

Deadline to enter submissions is midnight of Dec. 9.

Submission fee is $30 for two entries (maximum).

Artists can find the entry form and more information at Shelbycountyartscouncil.com under the “Happenings” tab.
