The registration deadline is June 24, 2022 and artists can register on Artsdouglas.org. Registration is $40 (CAC members $35) to submit up to 3 artworks for consideration into the final Juried exhibit. An opening reception will take place on Thursday, September 1, 6-8 pm, hosted by the Douglas County Art Guild.
The CAC welcomes a panel of three judges from a diverse range of art forms and training. This year’s jury panel welcomes three accredited Judges: full-time studio and exhibiting artist Carrie Penley; visual artist and creator of Black Art in America, Najee Dorsey; and international award-winning fine art photographer, Jennifer Cardinell. The judges will use a point system to determine the top cash awards. Prizes will include 1st place for $500, 2nd place for $250, 3rd place $150, Honorable Mention for $100, and the People’s Choice award for $75.

Award recipients will be announced on the night of the reception, and the People’s Choice award will be announced at the end of the exhibit.
Once registered online, artists will receive the NJAS prospectus and must follow the guidelines to submit up to three works of art. Artists will be notified with acceptance emails by Monday, July 18.
