Rules and Information

 OA Gallery invites you to exhibit in THE WORKS, a show that features more art mediums in one place than we've tackled before. We love all kinds of art and we want to show off YOURS!

Rain or sunshine, this one is a summer spectacular of outrageous proportion. This is our BIG warm weather show, a month of outstanding art just inside the doors of OA Gallery...and we don't have to worry about the weather.

Tell your artistic friends to join the fun and beauty of this show. Just like our MANYmini small works show, YOU get to participate by inviting artists whose work you think is outstanding so spread the word!

Please read the important information below before proceeding to upload your artwork for online display.
