Pumpkins, a Regional Juried Show
Entries Due: September 19-22, 2025
Oh these glorious bulbus orange gourds, how can we possibly show you how much we adore your seasonal availability and brilliant shades? Will a whole month of nothing but pumpkin based art be sufficient? We think so!
Join us this October to celebrate all things Pumpkin. The art can be of any medium that lets you celebrate them in all their glory! You could even venture to make a work from pumpkin (But please limit it to something that is sealed and will not rot, smell or attract insects) and if you have a sentient Great Pumpkin (*proof of art being made by said Great Pumpkin will need to be provided upon submission. We do not accept “Dude, Trust Me” on matters this serious.) it can also be painted BY a pumpkin. All mediums are welcome.
