Vote for your favorite to receive the "People's Choice" award.

Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 11am - 5pm

This year we're decorating the Christmas tree at ArtSpace with Artist Trading Cards made by creative people in our community - which could be YOU! You don't have to be an artist to participate, and we're looking for contributions from all ages. Your "ATC" should be the size of a poker playing card with your art on one side and your name and email address on the other. You have through January 14 to create your unique card and donate it.

After Christmas the ATCs from the tree will go into a permanent display at ArtSpace. Let your art be in our collection!

Poetry Out Loud is a national competition at the high school level that encourages memorization and recitation of great poetry. We invite members of the community to be judges or tabulators.

Our county finals will be on Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 7-9pm at Imagination Theater - free and open to the public. Please save the date!
