A painting, a drawing, a sculpture... NO! It’s mixed media! It’s all of those things and more. Show us your skill and your creative endeavors in your assemblage, mixed media paintings, collage, sculpture and all that you can imagine. 

Inviting all artists working in mixed media across multiple and interdisciplinary mediums and forms to participate. 2D and 3D work is encouraged.

Semi representational, with a commitment to strong design and architectural form is the signature of his work. Sargent is a sculptor as well as a painter. His work ranges from bronze casting to assemblage of natural objects. 

Judging the work will rely on overall impact, content, composition and mastery of techniques. Attention to creativity and craftsmanship is a very important part of this as well.
