PROCESS
All artworks submitted to the 2023 Place of Peace show are reviewed by the art selection committee with the goal of accepting at least one artwork from each applicant. After all submitted artworks are reviewed, the art selection committee will contact all artists to let them know if they have been asked to be part of the exhibit and if so, which artwork/s have been chosen. This will happen by March 31st, 2023. In addition to their acceptance, artists will be notified about the dates and times for artwork drop off. 

Upon dropping off their work, will be asked to complete an Artist Agreement form. All artwork will have to stay hanging in the exhibit until the exhibit is over and cannot be removed early.  

All accepted artists are invited, as well as their friends and family, to the Opening Reception and are not required to provide anything for this event.

Once the exhibit is over, artists will need to come pickup their art on the designated artwork pickup dates/times. Photos of the artwork and the Place of Peace art exhibit will always be listed on the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center's website: https://www.jcprd.com/1209/Art-Exhibits
