Jennie Sikora-Muehl is this year’s Square’s Off Coordinator. Sikora-Muehl said, “What makes this show so fun and unique is that the artwork of all mediums will be square in shape. The show is open to all artists around the country with heavy participation from local artists.”
This is a national juried art show. Over the last few years, the show has attracted the best local artists as well as artists from all over the country. Center Place is a great venue for a juried art show.
