This year, the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture is excited to host the 2nd Annual Fay Chandler EMERGING Art Exhibition. Artists that live or create in the City of Boston are welcome to apply. We are looking for fresh, original, contemporary work. The art will be displayed at Boston City Hall in the Scollay Square Gallery during the month of October. The art submitted will be judged by a jury of Boston art professionals and peers. $5,000 in prizes will be awarded. This is a great opportunity to expose your art to the Boston arts community.
Fay Chandler was a champion and advocate of the arts and started her career as an artist later in life. She serves as an inspiration for this exhibition and to artists of all ages.
