PRINCE GEORGE’S SAMPLER
Over the past decade, Prince George’s County Maryland has built on its long history of cultivating the arts to become home to many of our region’s top artists. As the M-NCPPC’s annual juried exhibition of county artists returns to the Brentwood Arts Exchange, Prince George’s Sampler celebrates the diversity and richness of art in the county by presenting artwork in all media. We’re not asking artists to fit to a theme or a form – bring us what you most want to show. The show is open to work in 2-D, 3-D, video, sound, installation, and performance art.
