Area artists are invited to sign up for our 3rd area art exhibit and contest at the Artist Loft Gallery in Coos Bay. There are cash prizes and ribbons, and the first place winner will also get a one month exhibit on the gallery’s guest artist area.

The show theme is “Round is Beautiful.” Through color, through imaging, through feelings, etc. -what exemplifies that roundness is beautiful to you? Let your imagination and your creative drive lead you in a new direction. What you come up with is up to you – make it personal, look inside you.

The Artist Loft will be accepting both two dimensional (up to 480 sq. inches) and three dimensional (maximum 20” in any direction) artwork. Artists may submit up to three works. Deadline is September 16. The exhibit runs from September 19 – October 28.

To get an entry blank either stop by the Artist Loft Gallery 367 Anderson, Coos Bay, or

email GRWICK@GMAIL.COM and we will email you one.

We look forward to seeing your work!

President, Artist Loft Gallery
