OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS: THE CONTEMPORARY PORTRAIT Art Show
Open call for artist participation in the upcoming juried, all media art show The Contemporary Portrait at the East End Arts Gallery in Riverhead.

Original works in all media may be submitted, including: painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, video, and sculpture; up to three entries can be submitted per artist.
