Abstract Art, Mixed Media, Collage Prizes: 1st: $20, 2nd: $15, 3rd: $10

Abstract art does not attempt to represent images like mountains, flowers, people, etc, but seeks to achieve its effect

using shapes, forms, colours, and textures. Mixed media works follow the rules of representational art by being able to be hung using wire, or sawtooth/alligator tooth hardware.
Many dollar store frames do not have the ability to hook onto the back and are not recommended to be used. If you are unsure if your art fits in this category you can send a photo of it to Sylvie Verwaayen at sylverdesign@outlook.com at least a week before the fair.
