The May Show is designed to recognize the talents and achievements of local artists. In exhibiting such works, the Little Art Gallery strives to promote awareness of the arts and to make fine art accessible to North Canton and surrounding communities. The gallery recognizes that submitting artwork for critical review can be a daunting prospect, but knows its importance to the growth and development of an artist. The Little Art Gallery is grateful to the artists who submitted entries to the May Show.
The show invited entries from any artist 16 years of age or older, living in Stark County. All works submitted were required to be original, recent (within the past three years) and not previously exhibited in a Little Art Gallery show. All media, with the exception of photography and digital images (unless altered as mixed media fine art), were accepted for consideration.
