Artists are allowed to display one or two pieces of their 2D or 3D art work with dimensions no larger than 36” on a side, (including the frame). All art must be for sale and there is a commission on sales. The show is not juried - the first 100 pieces entered are placed in the exhibit. The show is professionally judged and the Colonial Beach Artists Guild awards $1000 worth of prizes.
The event, formerly known as the Heritage River Art Show, features the works of over 50 different artists represented from all over the states of Maryland and Virginia. There's even a separate photography category and the event kicks off with a big opening reception.
