Waterloo Arts invites all artists residing in the US or Canada to submit artwork for the 2021 Waterloo Arts Juried Exhibition. This is a unique opportunity for artists to exhibit work in the Waterloo Arts District in Cleveland, Ohio.   This is the seventh year Waterloo Arts has held a nation wide juried exhibition.  Over $1,500 in cash prizes will be awarded. As in past years, Waterloo Arts will also offer a small stipend to all accepted artists to help defray costs associated with entry and shipping. For the first time this year PhotoCentric gallery will be lending the use of their space to the exhibition. Due to previous commitments and COVID 19, this year’s exhibition will be held in the Waterloo Arts Gallery only and will not be expanded into Praxis Fiber Workshop and Brick Ceramic + Design. However both Brick and Praxis will be sponsoring a cash prize again this year.
