Imagine our Parks Show

April 15 to June 15, 2021

The Toledo Artists Club’s next online show is Imagine our Parks. Celebrate the beautiful Metroparks in Northwest Ohio. Media may include, but are not limited to, paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, and jewelry. You do not have to be a member of the club to participate. Artists are invited to submit digital images (.JPGs) of up to 5 original works of art on our website at https://www.toledoartistclub.com/call-for-entries. We will begin accepting entries March 12, 2021.

Deadline to complete online submission of artwork is April 8, 2021.

Awards will be selected by an experienced, independent juror:

• Best of Show $150

• First place $100

• Second place $75

• Third place $50

• Four Honorable Mention Certificates

• The People’s Choice Award. Visitors to the online exhibition may vote for their three favorite works of art. The artist whose work receives the most votes will receive a virtual Blue Ribbon, to be announced in the July Sketchpad.

Good news! Heralding the Holidays will be held live December 3, 4 and 5, 2021. This event has proven to be an outstanding fund raiser for the Toledo Artists' Club, with the potential to bring in as much as $3,000. The sooner the club begins to prepare for the event, the better. We will need a chair, or two co-chairs. Please volunteer. For more information about the responsibilities of the chair, contact the club.
