We appreciate all our WA-SDA artists who put themselves out there and submitted artwork for the traveling show and hope we’ll see much more in the regional shows coming up (remember, your work is still eligible for the regional show in your area!).
Congratulations to all of our accepted artists… we’ll post photos of accepted artwork in the future!
How exciting for you all! Greetings from Saudi Arabia–I would have entered, but…I’m no longer a qualifying resident!!! Hi to Layne, Barb, et al!
Help — I live on the border between Washington and Idaho. I don’t believe that you permit Idahoans to be a part of your group. Is that correct? However, I would like to see if I can generate interest in Idaho to start such a group here. Do you have advice for such a plan? Thanks !!!
