MARCH 7th through April 16th, 2015
Washington, DC is no longer an up-and-coming foodie town. We’ve arrived. From creative fare to celebrity chefs to unique venues, the nation’s capital boasts diverse restaurants that fit any palette and price range. Residents flock to community gardens and farmers markets. There may be more talk about food in DC than politics these days. So, we are challenging all DC-metro area artists to interpret for us – food! From humble vegetables, to fish from the sea we are looking for 2-d and 3-d works of art that creatively capture the ever popular topic of food.
You must 18 years old to enter, and be able to get your work to the CHAW Gallery to be eligible to enter. (No mailed or UPS-delivered work accepted.) Submission is digital entry through the button below. Entry is $30 for three artworks; up to two additional art works may be submitted, for $5 apiece. CHAL members receive a discount for entry – information on the discount code is emailed to CHAL members. Click on the Enter Here button below to go the submission portal.

PRIZES: First, Second, and Third place, plus Two Honorable Mentions receive cash awards.
