Show Opportunity

I don't typically post calls on my blog, but I really want to see the Columbia Art League get a wide variety of submissions for their Politically Speaking show. (I'd mentioned it once before here.) I was excited about this theme when it was first proposed and, although it's unfortunate that it was moved (it was originally meant to coincide with the election), I am glad it is still happening. Feel free to check it out on their website and submit your art. You can even do everything online, which is great.
