Velinda Gibbs of the Butterfly Collective, Sarah House of The ArtRoom and visual arts coach Heather Leavitt Martinez are seeking art submission for a contest with the theme “Transformation.”
There are cash prizes, an accompanying art exhibit and a workshop to prepare artists to talk and write about their work. Art can be dropped off from 4 to 6 p.m. March 29 at Create Art and Tea, 1015 Main Ave.
In preparation for the exhibition, Leavitt Martinez will offer a free workshop for artists planning to enter the contest.
