Call to artists for 'Remembering 9/11' art competition

FALLBROOK – The second annual “Remembering 9/11” exhibition and competition invites artists to create a patriotic-themed work of art, honoring the military, veterans, first responders and "Our Country". It is sponsored by Fallbrook Propane Gas Company.

The exhibition will be held at Brandon Gallery Sept. 2 through Sept. 29. The artwork will be judged by the community. The People’s Choice Award can be voted on Sept. 2 through Sept. 10 at the gallery. A reception will be held Sunday, Sept. 10 when the winners will be announced and awards presented.

The competition is open to everyone. The artwork may be created in any medium. Two-dimensional work only may be no larger than 32 inches on any side, including frame, and weigh no more than 20 lbs. Wire hangers only, with ends wrapped for safety. Entry fee: $25 for one entry, $20 for second entry. Entry fees will benefit the local VFW post 1924.
