Calling All Artists! Enter The Beacon's Celebration for the Arts Contest

May update: The contest is still open until June 30! Follow the steps below to enter your work of art.

Calling all artists over age 50 in the states of Maryland, DC and Virginia! You are invited to participate in The Beacon Celebration of the Arts.

Here's how to participate:

Step 1: Give some thought to trying your hand at a new art or craft, or returning to one you used to enjoy. Some ideas: watercolors, sketching, oil painting, jewelry making, pottery, sculpture, digital photography, poetry — the list is virtually endless.

Step 2: Go ahead: take a class, find a mentor, visit a studio, go to a “paint night,” or otherwise experience the power of self-expression through art. Find something that really sparks your interest.

Step 3: When you have one or more works you are proud of, enter the arts competition. The entry cost is $10 per item. P lease note this contest is open only to amateur artists age 50 and over who are residents of Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

For more information on the contest, visit the Celebration for the Arts homepage. We look forward to seeing what works of art are submitted during the competition!
