The AAA Digital Art User group has been hard at work and has some phenomenal art to display. This is not art made by copying and pasting!It’s absolutely original and a true art form. This art will be accompanied with explanations, so members can learn what digital art is, and what goes into making it.Entry of two pieces per artist will be accepted, depending on space. The art from the April Wall Display will remain on the wall longer, because of the upcoming Spring Art Show—which will be May 16 – 19.Take Down of the April Wall Display will be May 8.

• September—FABULOUS FAKES

Artists will choose familiar works as inspiration and create a fake.Each piece will be displayed with an image of the original inspiration so that viewers can compare and find the differences.Examples might be Girl with Ruby Earring—instead of pearl earring, or Mona Lisa with a mole on her cheek.One piece per artist

• October---ABSTRACT

The AAA Abstract User Group and other member abstract artists will display their work together.Up to two pieces per artist.

• November—Fall Art Show art will be hung. It all depends on the date chosen for the Fall Art Show

• December – ANYTHING GOES with a TWIST!

Anything Goes was a huge hit in 2023, so let’s do it again---but with a holiday/winter twist!  Artists can display traditional and non-traditional art forms, prints, giclees, fabric art---really just about anything goes!  But this time let’s make it fun by including aspects of your favorite winter holiday or the winter weather from your childhood!  We will accommodate all art that can be hung on the wall.  Collages with found objects that are securely fastened to a canvas will be accepted.  Up to two pieces per artist. There will be a Featured Artist, but other than that, the whole wall will be used. 

Some things will stay the same: The Featured Artist will remain a monthly feature in its current location. Art from the All About Art Spring, Fall Art Shows, and Creative Vision will be displayed in the month after the show.  Things to remember:  In most cases the last panel, to the far right will be used for the specially designated display.  In two cases, the entire wall (except the Featured Artist) will be used.  As is always the case, flat canvases without frames will not be accepted.  The canvas must be framed, or be at least 1 1/2 “ with finished edges.  Unless otherwise noted, the size of the painting or paintings submitted should not exceed 1248 square inches.
