2024 Art of Soul! Juried Art Show
Artist Submission Instructional Webinar

For the 2024 Art of Soul! Juried Art show, the NAAMCC will be using an online submission process using a portal called Art Call. This new process will allow you to follow step-by-step instructions for submitting your entry, paying the entry fees, preparing your artwork for exhibition hanging, packing, and shipping, and other useful information.

Need help with using our new online submission process? The NAAMCC team will host an Artist Submission Instructional Webinar on Tuesday, December 5, 2023 at 6:30 pm.

You will receive the Zoom webinar link after you register (check your junk or spam email folders if you don't see the Zoom email). We will also record the webinar, and the link will be posted to the NAAMCC Facebook page and NAAMCC 2024 Art of Soul! webpage for future reference right after the webinar.
