The City of Alexandria is celebrating its 275th birthday in 2024. The Alexandria Arts Alliance commemorates the occasion during their 2024 Party for the Arts—a celebration showcasing all artists in Alexandria on Saturday, April 27 from 11am-7pm. The exhibit will open during Party for the Arts and feature art that reflects what Alexandria is to that artist. Be it King Street, an Alexandria baseball field, a tree located in one of our great parks – what does Alexandria mean to you? Include an optional 2-3 sentence explanation why this art is Alexandria to you to be posted with the art.
Entry to this exhibit is by online submission. All media are welcome. Artwork previously shown in the DRA gallery is welcome. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional art welcome. The maximum size of each piece is 3' X 3' and no more than 25 pounds in weight.
