Event Description:

Artists of Palm Beach County is excited to partner with Car Team USA in Stuart to present a Big & Bold Exhibition that showcases the combined talents of Palm Beach and Martin County artists in a new environment. The Car Team USA venue is “industrial chic” with high ceilings, concrete walls, and pristine white tile floors – a dream for artists who paint Big & Bold! We encourage artists from both counties to submit from 30” x 24” to 8-1/2' high and 8' wide (minimum size is 20”  x 16”).  Contact Kat Penley at kpenley@kpenley.com to discuss larger works. We will also accept up to six 3-D works no larger than 3 ' x 3'. Pedestals for 3-D work must be supplied by the artist and approved by APBC. Any mediums are acceptable. However, no explicit sexual or political work is accepted.

All work must be for sale. NFS art is not allowed. NO GICLEES will be accepted.

All pieces larger than 30" wide must have d-rings 1/3 of the way down from the top of the stretcher, as a hanging system will be used.
