As we approach the vibrant season of autumn, it's time to prepare for our upcoming October exhibit! This is a wonderful opportunity for each of you to showcase your unique artistry and celebrate the rich colors, textures, and themes that autumn brings.

Imagine the warm hues of oranges, reds, and yellows that capture the essence of this season. The changing leaves and cozy vibes can serve as inspiration for new pieces or an opportunity to revisit your existing works. Remember, this exhibit isn't just about displaying art; it’s about connecting with our community and sharing the beauty of what autumn means to all of us.

We encourage you to start thinking about your submissions now. Whether it's a painting, sculpture, or print, your unique interpretation of fall can add to the vibrant tapestry of our exhibit. Consider how you can draw in viewers with your work and inspire them to reflect on their own autumn experiences.

We want to see the many splendors of autumn through your eyes. Together, let’s make this exhibit a true celebration of artistic talent and creativity.
