Artists of all ages and skill levels, from Middlesex and Hartford counties, may submit work online for this annual art exhibit; it is free to register and offers cash prizes for winning work!
As they say in the arts, “The show must go on!” And this year is no exception for CRT’s 30th Annual National Arts Program, which for the first time will be entirely virtual.
To accommodate the safety needs of the artists, judges, and guests who will view the artistic work submitted, this year’s National Arts show will be hosted in an online gallery format. Artists will have the opportunity to submit photographs of their work to be exhibited via a virtual art gallery and CRT plans to host an online awards reception to celebrate all of the winning work.
All forms of visual arts may be submitted to the show; from paintings and photographs to sculptures, crafts and textiles. Up to two entries may be submitted per artist and they must be the original work of the applicant and completed within the last three years. This year, CRT encourages participants to consider creating or submitting art that is related to their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Artists can submit their work for free to this show. The deadline to register for the 2021 National Arts Program is Friday, March 19, 2021.
