In honor of Fayetteville being the finish line for the 2013 Air Race Classic, the Fayetteville Underground is holding a National Juried Art Exhibition themed “Women Take Flight” in the month of June.
 
About the Art Exhibition
Artists everywhere, amateur and professional, over the age of 18 years, are invited to submit two dimensional  art with any interpretation of “Women Take Flight”. Entries will be judged on artistic merit, composition, technical merit, use of media, subjective appeal, and the artist’s ability to capture the essence and feeling of women taking flight.
 
Submissions will be judged by Fran Otten a national-recognized professional watercolor artist. Prizes will be awarded – $1000 best of show, $500 second place, $300 third place, with additional awards given in individual categories. All work exhibited during this show will be available for purchase.
 
The exhibition will open with a reception and award presentation on Thursday, June 6, 2013, and will remain on display through June 28, 2013.
