After three years, we’ve brought the art of the Washington, DC area artists into the eyes of the public at the artdc Gallery in Hyattsville, MD.  We’ve hosted over 40 art shows with a positive following.  We could not have done it with out you.  It is now time to thank those who support us.  We are inviting all of our patron supporters to hang their work in the artdc Gallery.

The Install is May 20th, 2012
The Reception is June 2nd, 2012
The De-install is June 24th , 2012

We will include at least one work of each patron of artdc.org (space permitting).  Works of art should be professionally presented with a wire in back, and limited roughly to 36 x 48 inches.  The art will be hung Salon Style. Sculpture and small installation works are welcomed.

Artists must submit 3 to 5 images to artdc at fineartventures@gmail.com.  artdc will Jury the show.  Submit your images as soon as possible with a deadline May 18th.

artdc will promote the show through facebook, our mailing lists, and a press release with all artist names.

In order to submit work, you must be a patron in good standing.  View a list of patron’s here: http://artdc.org/forum/index.php?topic=3451.0 .  If you have not renewed your patronage in the last year, you must renew.

The cost of patron support is $35 annually.    If your patronage has expired, or would like to become an artdc.org patron, please send your support of $35 or more here: http://artdc.org/forum/index.php?page=52
