Get ready for the CPSA DC 215 2008 Colored Pencil Art Show during the month of November. The show will be hung in the Eisemann Center which is located in the heart of the Telecom area of Richardson. November is one of the busiest times of the year at the Eisemann. Key performances are held. Typically, between 10,000 and 20,000 people attend performances during the month. The Gallery where our art will be hanging is just outside the entrance to the performance hall. There will be room for 50 pieces.
Rules for artwork and framing will be very similar to those of CPSA's National Exhibition. Only CPSA DC 215 members will be eligible to submit artwork. Details are being worked out and notification will be mailed/emailed as quickly as they are available.
