Call for Artists --" Coaster Show 2014"

An exhibition of artwork made on coasters, or constructed using coasters. This fun summer show will included dozens of artist and creatives at all career levels and skill sets. We are exhibiting work from Chicago artists and those beyond the Midwest . Coaster sizes and shapes will vary, that's not too important. They will be admitted based on their creativity and content.
