American loves neon. And Austin’s full of it.
Austin is a town that worships neon. It lights up our life all over the city, as it does all around the country. We’ll pay homage to the art of neon with our gallery’s Grand Opening and exhibit reception on September 16, The Neon Show.
YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO SUBMIT if you are an emerging or established artist creating original works in neon or about neon, especially with neon itself, or painting, serigraphy, film/video, traditional or digital photography, where the subject matter shows neon. Enter by August 23 to have your art considered for exhibition.
