“Hard Edge Painting” CALL FOR ENTRIES

ACA at Harris House 214 S Riverside Dr., New Smyrna Beach, FL, United States

Doris Leeper, Atlantic Center for the Arts Founder, was adept at many things but hard edge painting and large scale sculpture were her expertise.

To pay homage to Doris Leeper and her contributions to contemporary art, Harris House of Atlantic Center for the Arts is seeking entries for a juried art exhibition titled “Hard Edge Painting” for the month of September. #CallForArtists
