Add a juried exhibition to your resume, and enter to win a week-long workshop with a famous artist!
The FLAT Flat Rate Show
A juried exhibition to showcase exceptional visual art by current community college students. Any and all media, traditional or non-traditional. Show your best work!
Historically, the Flat Rate exhibition requires artwork to be mailed to us in a USPS Flat Rate Box. This year, as we adapt to the changes of COVID-19 the exhibition is going fully virtual, meaning the work is very flat and doesn’t need to be snail-mailed to us!
Online Exhibit Reception: Wednesday, February 10, 2021 | 5:30 PM (PST) Please attend!
Connect with art faculty, college admissions counselors, current and prospective students.
Location: On Zoom!
