Seeking Art Submissions – Words Meet Art
Call for Submissions | DEADLINE Aug 15
The Ames Writers Collective is seeking “two-dimensional original art” submissions for an exhibition at Fifth Street Writers located at 612 5th Street in downtown Ames, Iowa.
Media can be oil, acrylic, watercolor, collage, or photography. Pieces chosen for the exhibition will be featured at Fifth Street Writers Art Meets Words events.
At Words Meet Art events, writers come together to write in community prose memoir or poetry in response to the art or photography submissions.
