New Oak Cliff Cultural Center Wants Art From Artists

This just in from Scott Chase of the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce:

The City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs will open the newly-renovated Oak Cliff Cultural Center in August 2010.  The center is located at 223 West
Jefferson Avenue in the heart of Oak Cliff.  The 5,000 sq. ft. Center has a visual arts gallery and a dance studio and was designed to serve as a community arts center.
The grand opening of the center will be held on Thursday, August 12, with a community celebration planned for Sunday, August 15, 2010.   The opening will include an art exhibition.

Entries Deadline: All entries must be received by 5:00 PM on Monday, June 28 (Editor’s note: That’s Monday, if you’re not looking at a calendar.)

Concept & Theme: The inaugural exhibition at the new OCCC will be a juried exhibition that highlights recent work of professional visual artists who live or work in Oak Cliff.  The goal of this exhibition is to showcase the work of the visual artists whose creative endeavors have made Oak Cliff the vibrant and
growing artistic community that it is today.  There is no specific theme for the artwork that will be featured in this exhibition and a jury will select approximately 25 artworks for this inaugural exhibition.
