Our 14th Annual Shades of Fall Art Exhibition (previously Midsummer Arts Dream) will
take place at Lansdowne Centre on September 19th to 21st, 2025. This juried exhibition
with cash prizes will be accepting 2D works in the categories of Painting, Drawing, Mixed
Media, Textiles, and Photography.

Pieces must not exceed dimensions of 24inch x 36inch (width x length). Anything wider than 24 inches or taller than 36 inches will be automatically rejected due to the size of the hanging posts at Lansdowne. 

Artists have high quality images submitted for judgement and for the potential of a virtual gallery. At this time we cannot yet confirm if we will be able to have a virtual gallery this year or if it will just be the in-person show. Updates to follow.

Maximum 3 entries per artist, with acceptance dependent on review and space limitations. Deadline August 18th 2025.

Conditions that you agree to upon submitting registration:

1. Your submission is not guaranteed acceptance. Accepted pieces will be communicated to artists closer to the event date.
2. You will bring your accepted piece(s) in-person to submit it on Thursday night (September 18th) before the show starts. The piece must be framed, wired, or otherwise prepared for hanging. Any pieces not prepped for hanging will not be included in the show.
3. Pieces must also be picked up at the end of the show on Sunday September 21st. Artists must pick up their piece from Lansdowne Center in the last hour of the show.
4. We are currently not accepting works that are created using Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) Softwares or Programs.

Any pieces found breaking these conditions will not be included in the show with no refunds to the entry fee.
