ORGANIZERS
‘SPACE’ - 2020 Arts On The Coast (AOC) Annual Exhibit is organized by the Photopoint Gallery in partnership with the AOC.

ABOUT THE EVENT - THEME
The theme for this years Annual Exhibit is SPACE. Although the theme SPACE was decided upon many months ago, long before the COVID-19 pandemic, SPACE is something that you, as an artist deal with all the time, making it a very appropriate theme for the 2020 show. Interpret SPACE in your very own way - it could be negative space, outer space, cluttered space, white space, open spaces... your space.

• First Place/Best In Show ($100)
• Second Place ($75)
• Third Place ($50)

The People’s Choice award will also be awarded, however the 2020 vote will be conducted online. Details about how to vote will be published once the show starts at artsonthecoast.org.
