Hi – Thank you so much for publishing this blog! It’s been the single most useful resource for finding opportunities for me, at this stage. Great work!
Coincidentally, I was scouring the internet today, and saw that the Danforth Museum is taking entries for their juried show – until Friday. The fee’s a little high, but includes membership.
