Invited works may be realistically rendered or abstracted. We are looking for your new work, in traditional and nontraditional media, to create a lavish display of color and an exhibit that celebrates the senses.

Cranbrook Connections
The Cranbrook Academy of Art located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, is known as one of the preeminent centers of education in fine art, crafts, design, and architecture since the early 1930s. SPA will be honoring the late Marc Awodey, local artist and art critic, who attended Cranbrook, by organizing an exhibit in 2020 of work by those in our area who also attended Cranbrook. (photo credit: P.D. Rearick) Exhibit Dates: May 12 – June 27, 2020 Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2020 Click here for details about this show... The Parade is Coming! This vibrant show includes work in a variety of media and installations that depict the excitement, content, and vivid colors associated with parades -- marching bands, floats, color guards, politicians working the crowd, parade stands, and characters in the parade audience -- as well as more solemn processions and marches. In addition to works on the walls, we will assemble a parade involving a group of artists’ sculptural works in a variety of media. Join the parade!
