Call for Entry; "Paper Cuts"

“Paper Cuts” is a juried cut paper artwork exhibition at the Foundry Art Centre open for artists’ entries through May 17, 2013.

Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works will be accepted. There is an entry fee of $35 for non-members and $24 for Foundry members and up to three pieces may be submitted for the jury process.
