HEARTS Obispo 3 around the corner!
HEARTS OBISPO 3 – Submission Deadline 1/9
Artists take note! This is a great event in which to participate. More than 200 items were sold last year, and the 50/50 split benefits us all. No entry fee makes it easy to submit your art. Small works seem to sell especially well. How small is small? Artists don’t like to be constrained by numbers — let’s just say “smaller than a bread box”, or no bigger than 2' on any side. Please submit no more than 3 works of art. Artwork for HO3 must be delivered to ARTS Obispo’s office from January 5th-9th between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Exhibiting artists must be members of ARTS Obispo.
