“Anything Goes” Member Show

The Sun Gallery is pleased to announce its next exhibition entitled:

                 Anything Goes!

“Anything Goes” is an idiom that began life as “everything goes” in an 1879 George Meredith novel, “The Egoist”. So what does a Sun Gallery art exhibition have to do with this phrase? You guessed it! For THIS SHOW Sun Gallery Member Artists can submit a medley of work: any theme, any subject matter, and a variety of media (just keep it decorous).

NOW is your chance to submit your artwork that did not fit previous Sun Gallery show themes. Contribute to our show variety and answer our Call for Art!  Help us create a tasty ragout of colors, forms, shades, shapes, moods, messages, and meanings at the Sun Gallery Member’s Show……. Anything Goes!

The show dates will beJune 23 to July 29, 2023, at the Sun Gallery in Hayward.  Artwork will be juried for entry digitally or by photo at no cost to the artist, but you must be a member of Sun Gallery to participate.
