The Maryland Society of Portrait Painters has recently been invited to display work at City Hall in Annapolis, MD. The title of the show “Humanity” invites members to exhibit art that reflects the human spirit through use of the figure and portraiture. This is a non-juried exhibit and acceptance into the show will be determined by the order of entry. Space is limited for this exhibit and acceptance into the show will be given on a first come, first served basis. Members may enter up to three artworks in the exhibit. We will do our best to allow as many artists in who want to participate and will allow multiple works from each as space determines.
