Louisville Visual Art invites you to participate in our 8th Annual art[squared] Exhibition & Sale

Louisville Visual Art asks you to consider contributing an 8" x 8" artwork to the 8th Annual art[squared]. The event will be held as an online auction again this year. Proceeds from this exciting fundraiser support all of LVA's vital programming, from Children's Fine Art Classes (CFAC) to the Mural Art Program to Open Doors Outreach for at-risk youth.

LVA truly values the time and effort of each and every artist who makes art[squared] possible. Your donation of an artwork helps us continue to nurture Louisville's entire art ecosystem.

HOW art[squared] WORKS
1. Artists 18 and older are invited to submit a finished 8"x 8" canvas. (One canvas will be provided FREE to each artist, compliments of Preston Arts Center, Artist & Craftsman Supply and LVA). One canvas per artist, due to limited availability.
2. Artists use the complimentary 8" x 8" canvas to create work in the medium of their choice! (Painting is only one option, all mediums are welcome. Artists may affix photos, bas relief, collage, etc. to the provided support.) All nontraditional paintings/artwork must be ready to hang.
3. Artists need to fill out the forms provided with the free canvas (or download the form here if you are providing your own canvas).
4. Artworks are not anonymous this year. So you may sign the front of your canvases! (but not required)
5. Drop off your completed art contribution at any of the locations listed below by June 7, 2021. If you are not local or unable to drop it off at one of our locations, you may mail your artwork to: LVA, 1538 Lytle Street, Louisville, KY 40203
