Southern Heartland Arts Inc. invites Georgia artists to participate in its annual fall show, Artful Harvest. 

The dates of this year’s show are Sept. 20 to Oct. 22.  Receiving of art will be Thursday, Sept. 16 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday, Sept. 17, from 4 to 7 p.m.  

Artists do not have to be a guild member to participate. There is no charge for junior admissions (under age 18). Artful Harvest is not a juried show, but is a judged show.

Monetary awards for each of the three categories (2D, 3D and Photography) are $300 for first place, $150 for second place, $50 for third place, and one Best in Show at $500.

All art entries must be original to the artist, and 2D art must either be framed or gallery wrapped, (wired for hanging; no claw type hangers will be accepted). 

The show is sponsored by longtime Southern Heartland Arts corporate sponsor, United Bank. 

The prospectus, with details and fees for the show may be downloaded at http://southernheartlandart.com/page6.html or picked up at Southern Heartland Art Gallery, 1132 Monticello Street, Covington GA. SHA is also happy to email the entry form. Simply email stwahl@bellsouth.net, and a copy will be sent by return email.
