20th Mid-Atlantic on exhibit 'til June 27, 2010
d'ART's Mid-Atlantic is a great chance for Downtowners to get a taste of today's art scene as the show spotlights artwork from the far corners of the USA including California, Montana, Texas, Illinois and of course the Mid-Atlantic states.
The d'ART Center is proud to announce the winners of the 20th Annual Mid-Atlantic Art Exhibition. This prestigious show is a national competition and gives the d'ART Center an opportunity to recognize excellence in contemporary fine art. This year 487 artworks were submitted by artists for 19 states across the country. Of those 55 were selected from 29 artists for this exhibit making this a highly competitive exhibit.
