2020 Juried Art Exhibition
CCAC’s 11th Annual Golden Ticket, and the first Golden Ticket exhibition held entirely outdoors, will feature the diverse, talented artists living or working within a 25-mile radius of the Clifton Cultural Arts Center. All fine art disciplines are encouraged to apply. Due to ongoing public health concerns, and in an effort to activate public spaces, the Clifton Cultural Arts Center will install accepted artworks on the perimeter of Rawson Woods Bird Preserve, as well as in the front yards on the adjacent blocks of Middleton Avenue in the Gaslight District of Clifton. CCAC will reproduce all accepted two-dimensional works on weather-resistant substrates, and also encourages applicants to propose outdoor installations and sculptures that too are weather resistant. Winners will be announced on the first night of the exhibition. Over $1500 in cash prizes will be awarded for Best in Show (for whom CCAC will also host a solo exhibition), second and third place, and honorable mention.
Join us for the opening reception, October 30, 2020, from 5 – 8 p.m. at the intersection of Middleton and McAlpin Avenues.
