Entry Fee:
This is a no-fee public event to promote the arts for the community and artists. All works must be framed or otherwise able to be hung or set  on a flat surface. 

Exhibits will consist of two exhibit categories:

1. Open Category:  Artist may choose to exhibit  works of their choosing.

2. Juried Category Themes:  Works submitted for the juried category will be judged by a panel of artists unaffiliated with Beacons for non-monetary award recognition of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

3. Best in Show: This award recognition will be awarded to the work deemed most outstanding overall, regardless of category.
 

Exhibit and Juried Category themes:

• 3/14/25: "DiscARTed": This category will showcase 1 art piece using recycled materials.  Recycled materials must comprise at least 50% of the work. 

• 6/6/25: "Color in Motion": This theme is designed to foster  works that  embody color and motion. 

• 9/19/25: Coastal Creations: Exhibit will showcase works that embody the beauty of our coastal community.

Juried Categories at Exhibits

Works submitted to juried categories will be judged for their creativity and alignment with the stated juried category theme for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place non-monetary recognition. Winners will be announced at the event.

1) 3/14/25 Exhibit "DiscARTed": Entries for juried category must consist of 50% recycled materials.  Recycled materials are human-created items that would end up in trash or recycling bins after use, expiration or lack of use. Natural materials (such as rocks, branches or dirt) do not constitute recyclable materials.

​

2) 6/6/25 Exhibit "Color in Motion": Works for juried category consideration will be evaluated based on the artist's use of color, and actual or sense of motion in the creative work. 

​

3) 9/19/25 "Coastal Creations": Works for juror consideration will be evaluated based on the artist's capturing of a coastal vibe in the work.
