"Haunted" call for artists

CALL TO TRI-STATE ARTISTS!

Ol’ Blue Gallery Presents Haunted featuring work by artist (TBA). 

With the overwhelming response to last years Creatures of the kNight art exhibit we decided to do another Halloween-themed art show. Similar to last years show, this showing has a lot of room for creative interpretation from artists. The submissions should be created with the theme Haunted, and whatever Haunted means to you. If the weather is good, we would love to display some of the work in the courtyard of the gallery to extend the show outdoors. Works that are weather-proof are also encouraged.
