All Members Show
The "All Members Show" is an open exhibit free to current FHAL members. Members may enter one or two pieces of artwork. The artwork will hang in the Community Center for the month of February. We want to fill the Community Center walls with our art!
This is an opportunity to advertise your work prior to the Artisan Tour in March. We will indicate your studio number on your art piece so the community can get a sample of your work.
The winners of this show will be chosen by the public. We will have ballots available in the hallway for the community to pick their favorite piece. We will announce the two winners, the People’s Choice Award and an Honorable Mention Award at the public reception held Mid February at the Community Center. The winner of this show is eligible to participate in the December Artist of the Year competition.
Intake for the artwork is the first week in February at the Fountain Hills Community Center (FHCC).
