CALL FOR ART!
Dry Canyon Community Art Center
"America the Beautiful"
​
We want to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great nation by showing the creativity of Central Oregon artists at the Dry Canyon Community Art Center. We are inviting members of Dry Canyon Arts Art Association to submit your art for our next exhibition, “America the Beautifull”. You define what that means, to you. It does not necessarily mean the physical beauty of our country, it could be images of the people that make up our country. Or other things, you decide. All media, both 2D and 3D are accepted. All artwork must by for sale. Students are exempted from this requirement.
​
It will be a two-month exhibit of 2-D and 3-D art, from June 3, 2026 to Aug 1 2026. Exhibit opening reception is Friday, June 5th, 2026 from 5pm-8pm. Artists are invited to participate and celebrate your art during the reception.
​
The Community Art Center, located at 415 SW 6th Street, is in the heart of Redmond’s downtown business district. Open 5 days per week and staffed by volunteer hosts. To sign up to volunteer as a gallery host contact Janet : volunteer@drycanyonarts.org
