Overview
Art Made Outdoors: A VECCA-sponsored Community Show that celebrate Plein Air
VECCA sponsors several judged community art exhibitions throughout its fiscal year, November 2023 to October 2024. This form below is for ART MADE OUTDOORS. This show celebrates Plein Air, creating art outdoors. Although traditionally en plein air applies to painting, this show encourages artists of all kinds to incorporate their medium of choice in capturing the theme. Participants should complete this form by JUNE 28TH and drop off their artwork by SUNDAY, JUNE 30TH to VECCA, 123 S. Main Street, Woodstock VA during the hours: 1 to 3 p.m.
Any 2 or 3-dimensional medium is acceptable, as well as writing and music. Traditional, abstract, and any other forms of creative art are encouraged – however, since VECCA-sponsored, judged shows are open to the public of all ages, artwork must be family-friendly (aka, no nudes or overtly grotesque imagery or themes, please).
Judges will award fine art pieces based on originality, quality, and overall presentation for each show in the following manner:
- Best in Show
- First Place
- Second Place
- Third Place
- and up to three honorable mentions.
Visitors to the gallery (located at 123 S Main Street, Woodstock VA) will get a chance to cast their votes for a People’s Choice award, which will provide the winning entry with a one-year VECCA individual or student membership.
