The deadline for entry into the GVAL 6th Annual Fine Art show is approaching on September 27, 2008. The league has already received many entries and a lot of community interest but does have room for additional art works. The show is judged and juried, includes all mediums and subject matter. Artists interested in submitting work can download the official call for entry from the Gilbert Visual Art League website.

All submissions must be postmarked no later than September 27.

The show is hosted at the Gilbert Historical Museum in Gilbert, AZ and will be available for public viewing from November 8 through 22, 2008. Awards will be presented at the show reception on November 16, 2008. Ribbons are awarded to the top three works in each category. In addition, a cash prize is given to Best of Show and Peoples Choice winners. Renowned painter, John Cox, will judge the show.
