Previously known as the Arts Affair Exhibit, the Syd Arts Collective is TCA’s signature annual exhibit celebrating the creativity and talent of local artists. Unlike other exhibits, this showcase has no set theme, focusing instead on the celebration of the artists and their work across all mediums. Artists are encouraged to submit work that represents their vision, style, and skill, and to celebrate the rich talent of our local art community.

New Registration Process:

In past years, submissions involved two separate forms: an application and a registration. This year, we’ve combined them into a single form with a $50 registration fee.

All artwork for this exhibit is juried, so if your submission is not selected, you will receive a full refund of your registration fee.

Sales & Commission:

Most TCA exhibits require a 30% sales commission on sold artwork; however, this exhibit will require only 10%.

Prizes:

This exhibit will feature cash awards recognizing outstanding artistic achievement. Awards will be presented in the following categories:

Best in Show: $200
First Place (3D):$100
First Place (3D): $100
Second Place (2D): $50
Second Place (2D): $50

Award recipients will be announced during Arts Affair. Prize checks will be available for pickup during the scheduled artwork pickup period following the exhibit.
