The DownEast National Juried OUTDOOR Sculpture exhibition is open to all artists ages 18 and up. All entries must be submitted digitally, by Saturday November 21, 2020.
Work should be large scale to fit one of the 13 sculpture pads in various locations. Sculpture pads range from 4’x5’ to 10’ in diameter.
