Countdown to the All Arlington Salon!
There are only two weeks left before opening night of the Ellipse Arts Center’s annual exhibition, the All Arlington Salon! On July 17th, the day of the drop-off, Arlington artists came through the gallery doors with ready-to-hang photographs, paintings, mixed media collages and 3-D sculptures. By mid-morning, the walls were filling up with rows of original artworks. From graffiti inspired pieces, to charcoal drawings, to hand-pulled prints, the wide spectrum of artistic styles represent Arlington’s diversity.
Paintings by Brit Conley and other artists.
The All Arlington Salon is open to all artists who live, work, study or have a studio in Arlington, Virginia. Artists have the opportunity to submit each year. Every other year a guest curator juries the show, but this year there is no juror! Regardless of style or medium, Arlington affiliated, artists 18 years and older are welcome to submit one artwork.
