Local artists from 14 West Michigan counties can now submit their art for a chance to be juried into the 2021 West Michigan Area Show.
Hosted by the Kalamazoo Institute of Art, the artworks can range from paintings, prints and photos to mosaics, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture and mixed-media works.
The 2021 West Michigan Area show will run from June 5-Sept. 5.
