The submission deadline for our group exhibition on theย ArtWallย at Theย Leitrim Design House, in Co Leitrim, has been extended to Friday, the 17th of July, at midnight.

Theme: Essence of Nature

We invite members to create a piece which reflects a unique interpretation of natureโ€™s quiet power, from delicate studies of flora and fauna, to bold, abstract evocations of landscape and light.

Artists are encouraged to present works that reflect their unique perspective on the Essence of Nature through visual, conceptual or abstract forms. This open call welcomes all artistic styles and interpretations.

UPDATE: The SUBMISSION DEADLINE has been extended to the 17th of July, at midnight.
