Thank you to all the artists who entered. Call the center if you wish to purchase any piece of art or would like to see more photographs. (Measurements are in inches.) Any artwork framed behind glass is very difficult to photograph because of glare - we have posted those works as framed/presented and most with an additional image of the actual photo so you can view it better. ENJOY!! Great Mother's Day idea!.

Annual June Photography Exhibit - a judged contest. Digital entries only.
Every now and then, we have this exhibit judged and this seems like a good year for a photography contest! Our judge is professional photographer Terry Spearman from Pottsboro, Texas and not only will he be able to judge from his home, you can enter this show from yours!
Submit up to three photos, each in a jpg format. [Members, please do not submit any photo that has been judged here in a prior contest.] The cost is $25 per person for members and $35 per person for non-members. Entries may be submitted between Wednesday, June 10 and Wednesday, June 17. No exceptions - no late entries. Photos will be posted online here on June 19 and judged during the weekend. Winners - First, Second and Third place - will be posted Tuesday or Wednesday, June 23 or 24. Please DO NOT send each photo as an extensively large file (2-3 MB per photo). We appreciate your patience since this is our first digital-only show. FEES MUST ACCOMPANY OR PRECEDE ENTRY. In other words, if you don't send us a check prior to sending your photo files, you will need to call that day and use a credit card over the phone. Of course, you may also come by the gallery to pay. Currently we are open Tuesday - Friday, 10-5. (For your safety and security, do not send a credit card number through an email.)
PRIZE MONEY TO FIRST, SECOND and THIRD - this will be a portion of the entry fees. The more entries, the higher the prize money. First place should be guaranteed at least $50.
