CALL FOR ART: ANIMAL LIFE, ART FROM THE KALEVALA

Artists may submit up to three works in any medium and are asked to provide the lines or passages from the Kalevala that inspired the work. No entry fees. The Arts Center retains a 40% commission on all work sold. Mark entries with the retail price or NFS.
