The Glen Arbor Arts Center’s OUTDOOR GALLERY is a venue for the exhibition of visual art on the south and west exterior walls of its building. We seek to exhibit the original work of a single artist. The selected work will be eye-catching, compelling, colorful, and communicate the spirit of the Glen Arbor Arts Center with fresh originality. The selected, original work will be enlarged and reproduced on five, separate 5 foot x 5 foot square, weather-resistant outdoor panels, which will be exhibited for one year. The winning artist will receive a $500 prize provided by the Amy L. Clark-Carels Family Fund.

All media. Original work can be any shape or size as long as it can be photographed at the specified high resolution; and can be adapted/edited to the square format.
