CAA Virtual Art Exhibit: From a Distance

Calling All Artists for 'From a Distance': Virtual Exhibition

We've been busily working on new ways to connect and create during this time of physical distancing. We know we need to focus on healing and that can often begin with art. Art unifies people, giving them a common connection to the beauty that exists around us.

With that in mind and to celebrate Art Month, we're calling visual artists in any discipline to submit a maximum of two pieces to be considered for a virtual art exhibition, 'From a Distance', featuring work created by artists while “sheltering in place” because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 3. Awards will be given for first, second and third place. 'From A Distance' will premiere on the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County website beginning Friday, May 8 on what was originally planned as ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival weekend.
