Long Description
Ashton Gallery @ Art on 30th, a contemporary art center and gallery in San Diego, California, would like to invite regional and national artists to submit original works of art for our 2021 "Hi Ho Silver" exhibition.
“Hi Ho, Silver!”
This iconic phrase opens our national exhibition.
Calling all artists to explore the color "silver" in its many forms: stainless steel, pewter, gray, silver leaf, metal...etc. And since the Lone Ranger character wore a mask and this show will hang around Halloween time, also eligible are paintings of masks, hand-crafted masks, or art featuring people, animals or characters wearing masks.
Show us your artwork!
Awards & Prizes
Selected works will be published in the Ashton Gallery full-color exhibition catalog. Accepted artists will have the opportunity to proof their page before it goes to print. Catalogs will be available for ordering online via Blurb, a print on demand service. A link will be provided closer to time...
Three awards and two honorable mentions will be given by the juror:
Best in Show (featured on the cover of the catalog)
First Place (will receive a double page spread in the catalog)
Juror's Choice (will receive a double page spread in the catalog)
Honorable Mention (will receive a double page spread in the catalog)
We will also be awarding $1,000 in cash prizes!
