​
Let's Bloom!
Call for Art
​​
​
​Spring is here, and we’re celebrating the season of renewal by inviting artists to submit work for our Spring Market at the ShenArts Gallery! We’re seeking art of all shapes, sizes, and mediums—from small pottery works and original prints to wearable fiber pieces, paintings, and more.
​
The theme, “Let’s Bloom,” celebrates the beauty of spring: flowers blossoming, brighter days, and the return of warmer weather. We’re especially excited to showcase work that captures growth, color, and the joyful energy of the season.
​
The Spring Market will take place during Winchester’s 99th Annual Apple Blossom Festival, hosted in a prime, high-traffic location on the Old Town Walking Mall. This is a fantastic opportunity to share your work with thousands of festival-goers, connect with new audiences, and be part of a beloved community tradition.
​
Ready to bloom with us? Submit your work today and help us usher in spring!
