The SAA curates several "Art at the Ferguson" exhibits at the Ferguson Library annually.
This is a multimedia juried exhibit with cash prizes. We are asking artists from across disciplines and experience levels to submit 1-5 pieces for our next exhibition Up Close & Personal: A Portrait Show at The Ferguson Library. This theme is meant to inspire artists' creativity and is open to interpretation!
