The Fresno Art Museum announces its upcoming
exhibition, A VISION UNFOLDS: 60 YEARS OF ART,
which runs from January 23 through February 2,
2009. The exhibition will showcase the work of
longtime local artists who formed the original
Fresno Art Center in 1948 and work from Central
Valley artists who have yet to present their art
at the Fresno Art Museum.

CALL FOR ARTISTS:

The Fresno Art Museum is seeking artists from the
Central Valley who have never presented their
artwork at the Fresno Art Museum.

Artists must currently reside in the Central
Valley. Only artwork that can hang on the walls
of the Museum will be accepted for this exhibition

of 60 inches. Only one piece will be accepted from
any artist, so enter your best work. No sculptures or installation pieces will be accepted. Only original works will

scans of pre-existing art will not be accepted.
All artwork will be returned.

Museum, Michael Mazur.
