Celebration of the Arts

The Beacon newspaper, in partnership with the Maryland Federation of Art, invites seniors to submit artwork to a regional Celebration of the Arts competition this spring.

The competition will be open to amateur artists age 50 and over in the following categories: Painting and Drawing, using any medium; Sculpture/Jewelry/Mixed Media/3-D art, including wood, metal, stone, etc.; Photography, digital images including abstract and images manipulated using software; and Poetry.

Winners will receive awards and a cash prize, and artwork will be displayed at 50+Expos and local galleries.
