Archway Gallery will hold its Seventh Annual Juried Exhibition, benefiting Young Audiences of Houston. The open-themed show welcomes all artists in south and central Texas, 18 years or older, to submit works completed within the last three years independently and not previously exhibited by Archway Gallery. Artists whose work is accepted will be notified by telephone on July 10.

Selected juror Gus Kopriva will award all prizes at Archway’s opening reception. First prize winner will receive a $500 cash award with guest artist privileges for one month at Archway Gallery. Cash awards will also be presented to second and third prize-winning artists, with honorable mentions awarded at the juror’s discretion.

The mission of Young Audiences of Houston is to educate and inspire children through the arts, to make the arts an integral part of the school curriculum, and to advance the field of arts in education through professional teacher development training and community partnerships.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through July 30.
