a scene of uproar and confusion.
Freedom is the theme for this year’s Bedlam Popup Show in late June. Show us what freedom means to you through your artwork: the freedom to create what you want, and for this show, the freedom to hang where you want, too!
Opening reception is Saturday, June 17 from 4 to 6pm.
Let’s celebrate our FREEDOM!
Entry Fee
$10 per piece for as many as you want to enter.
Easy Breezy instructions:
Come to RGA receiving with your art on Friday, June 16 or Saturday, June 17 from 2-4pm. Fill out an entry form and a wall tag for each piece, grab a hammer and nail, and hang your art on the wall. That’s where the “bedlam” begins! No equipment is necessary – the Guild has lots of tools and stepladders.
