Minnetrista, Red-tail Land Conservancy and Anderson Museum of Art are now accepting entry submissions for the Open Space: Art About the Land art competition and exhibit.
The annual competition encourages artists to “find creative inspiration that celebrates “open space” as it relates to the land and nature.” It will be displayed this year as simultaneous sister exhibits at Minnetrista and the Anderson museum.
Artists must be 18 or older and a current or former resident of Indiana to enter. Pieces may be paintings, drawings, mixed media, prints, sculpture, fiber, metalwork, ceramics or photography.
The submissions will be curried by Earlham College emeritus professor of art Walt Bistline. Awards, including cash prizes totaling $1,500, will be presented during a reception Nov. 3. For more information, visit minnetrista.net.
Sweepstakes begins
To highlight National College Savings Month, the State of Indiana is holding the CollegeChoice 529 Education Sweepstakes.
Students with college savings accounts can enter for the opportunity to receive a $10,000 deposit. The entry form is available at collegechoicedirect.com/september. The deadline is Sept. 30.
“College Savings Month in Indiana is a great time to talk all options college and career after high school,” said Daniel Elliott, Indiana Treasurer of State, in a press release. “Since 529 plans can be used for technical and trade programs, registered apprenticeships, and 4-year degrees, this sweepstakes will have a significant impact on a Hoosier family.”
