CALL FOR ENTRY ‘Art in Bloom’ Exhibition March 10 - April 24, 2022
Martha Spak Gallery invites artists to submit their art for this themed exhibition "Art in Bloom". Enter work that is any interpretation of the call. Our goal is to discover unique artistic visions and showcase them. All mediums are welcome. .

A vital vehicle for many contemporary artists is to show their work to eager collectors and be recognized for their talents. This exhibition coincides with the National Cherry Blossom Festival in DC which attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the Wharf. We are located just steps from many Cherry Blossom events and the picturesque blossoms.

Cash prizes will be awarded for Best in Show, Second Place and Third Place. There will also be the People’s Choice Award chosen by Wharf visitors. This exhibition will be both in the gallery and on the website.
