Now! Channel your compulsion to share your work and enter the 2024 juried exhibition without delay! We are thrilled to announce that the work will be juried by Erin Dunn, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the esteemed Telfair Museums of Savannah, Georgia.

- Your entry fee goes to cover the exhibition expenses and to help sustain the gallery, which is a 100% community-supported and 100% volunteer organization, providing a space for artists in Athens for 23 years.
