Signature Artist Member - Call for Entries
Description of Exhibition
We are pleased to announce that the 107th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition will be held at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. The exhibition dates are June 10 – July 1, 2018.
The California Art Club is dedicated to furthering classical skills in painting and sculpting by encouraging their use in contemporary art interpretations. The Gold Medal Exhibition represents the most vital platform for demonstrating the best of the realist genre.
As a Signature Artist we invite you to submit your most outstanding artwork for the Gold Medal Exhibition that best represents you among respected peers. A small review session will be conducted to be sure that all artwork is exceptional and ready for exhibition. Signature Artists are assured to have at least one work in the exhibition (excluding unforeseen issues). This advantage is provided to Signature Artist Members only.
We look forward to showcasing the highest quality of Signature Artist members' works at a world-class accredited museum dedicated to the exhibition and collection of fine art. Keeping the California Art Club's mission and high quality expectations of this exhibition in mind, we look forward to exhibiting your artwork!
