I am pleased to share with and encourage you to apply to PG's newest call for entries and exhibition opportunity for Prince George’s County artists. This call is for Perspective: Prince George’s, the 2020 Annual Prince George’s Exhibition in Annapolis.  

This call is open to all artists who are 18 years of age or older who live, work, study, or have a studio in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

However, new for this year's exhibition, artists working in 3-dimensions; such as free standing sculpture, ceramics, found objects or any other medium or material that is molded, cast, carved, or assembled are also encouraged to submit high quality photographs of their work for consideration in this exhibition. If selected, a high quality print of the main face of the 3-dimensional work will be displayed in place of the piece. It will be the artist’s responsibility to print and frame the piece for display.
