All submissions will be installed in the museum’s Community Gallery. An opening reception and awards ceremony will be held at the museum from 5-7 p.m. on July 27. Winners from each category will receive a prize awarded by our sponsors.
“The Members Show is a great opportunity for both members and the museum,”
said FMoPA Executive Director Zora Carrier, Ph.D. “It allows us to showcase our members’ talent and diverse perspectives, while also helping them gain exposure for their work.”
