2021 Midsummer Art’s Dream Juried Exhibition Award Recipients

Painting

With 91 art pieces from 36 artists, the 10th Annual Midsummer Art’s Dream Juried Exhibition is the largest Midsummer exhibition the CACR has produced yet for the community of Richmond.

Thanks to Jessica Trestain, our Midsummer Exhibition curator, the CACR is proudly displaying all of these works in our Midsummer virtual gallery until December 10th, 2021.

This annual exhibition is ultimately for everyone’s enjoyment, and for our artist participants, there is the added fun of competition and growth as an artist because it is a “Juried Exhibition”.
