This year we celebrate Sustenance with a small works show at Neighborhood Produce in Ball Square. Work will be seen through the corner window at the intersection of Broadway and Boston Ave. Your interpretation of “sustenance” may be literal or symbolic, representational or abstract, painted, drawn, sculpted, photographic or multi-media. Submissions should not exceed 12” x 12” x 12” since the space is small. Submission deadline: Thursday, April 10, 2025.
