Art by Mary Yonekawa, inspired by Wayne Thiebaud

Submit your two-dimensional artwork to CAA's member show at Visit Concord. The Art of Inspiration is the theme. A committee of CAA members will jury this show.

​

Who is your favorite artist? Which painting in a museum calls you across the room and captures your attention? We invite you to submit your 2-dimensional art that was inspired by another artist--famous or not. Maybe it’s the color palette that inspires you, or the loose or realistic style, or the artist’s subject matter. Whatever it is, show us your expression that flowed from your inspiration. Just a friendly reminder: we cannot display painted or drawn copies of other artists’ works due to copyright restrictions. 

 

We look forward to seeing your work. You may submit up to two pieces for consideration. Entry fee is $10 per piece; 10% commission on sales payable to Concord Art Association. Fees and commissions help fund CAA's Teacher Grant and Scholarship programs.
