Norfolk Botanical Garden invites local artists to join us in our 3rd annual Diversity Gallery exhibit. To participate in this special exhibit, artists must be 18 years or older and be a part of under represented minority communities. All artworks must be suitable for display in a public setting and MUST BE WIRED in order to fit with our hanging systems.

We are currently accepting up to three (3) original works per artist for consideration. Selected pieces will be prominently exhibited in Baker Hall and/or throughout the Education Center Wing. All submissions will be evaluated and First, Second, and Third Place awards will be presented based on artistic merit.

This is an excellent opportunity to lend your voice to a vital conversation through the medium of art. We look forward to seeing your submission!
