Exhibition Opportunity for Art Instructors
Art instructors are critical members of thriving creative communities. They are responsible for passing core principles of art appreciation and a wide range of art production techniques to each new generation, often supporting both artists and non-artist viewers. Many art instructors are also practicing artists, balancing their own studio practice with the goal of helping others.
Crosstown Arts would like to invite you to share your personal work and experience with a broad audience through the following events.
