All Media Call: COVID-19 Creativity, Art Through Adversity

Recently, many of us found our home and studio practice colliding in an effort to retain our creative outlets during the midst of a global pandemic. The Huntington Beach Art Center (HBAC) asks, what did you do to fill your time and express your creative energy?

Local, regional, and national artists, all mediums are invited to participate in the HBAC's virtual celebration, COVID-19 Creativity, Art Through Adversity.

Online Submissions Accepted:  ​August 10 at 10 a.m. through August 15 at 5 p.m.
