The San Juan Islands Museum of Art & Sculpture Park (IMA) is sounding the call to Washington, Oregon and British Columbia artists to enter IMA’s juried visual arts competition – Green: On the Edge. The upcoming summer exhibition is asking artists to tackle the question, “What does green mean to you?” On the Edge is IMA’s way of saying, “Don’t be conservative, take it to the edge!” Express Green: On the Edge in your medium. Let everyone see what you’ve got and submit your work by May 24. Work must be current, no more than 2 years old and submitted with a $25 fee. All media accepted. For more detailed information about mailing images, size requirements, application forms, and more, visit our website www.sjima.org or give us a call at the museum at (360) 370-5050. Applications for submission are also available at the museum, 28 First Street, Friday Harbor, WA., during business hours, Friday to Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. Exhibition dates are July 2 through September 2010.

IMA is excited to bring together the incredible talent from our region and beyond with this forward thinking show. IMA would love you to be a part of this fantastic On the Edge opportunity!
