The Great Outdoors Exhibit

Celebrate “The Great Outdoors”, juried for prizes only by artist Mark Fernandez.

The Portsmouth Arts Guild invites you to enter your art exploring subjects and concepts relating to the world outside. It could be depictions of grand beaches and marshes, or small tadpoles in a pond at your local park. The only requirement is that it’s about the natural life that surrounds us.

Reconnect with nature. Highlight all that the outdoors has to offer from landscapes to urban oases to activities inspired by the natural world. All mediums welcome.  All entries accepted and displayed.

Submission begins August 18th via Smarter Entry. Click here for submission and Smarter Entry details and guidelines.
