After an absence of six years, the IPAPA member show returns this year. The show is open to all IPAPA members (and we’ve attached the most recent list of paid members). The show will be held at the new Hoosier Salon Gallery located at 22 N. Range Line Road in Carmel, Indiana as well as Eye on Art Gallery at 111 W Main St in Carmel.

Opening Reception and Awards presentation will be in conjunction with Carmel’s Second Saturday Gallery Walk on November 8, 2014, from 5:00 until 9:00 pm.

The Board of Directors has committed to a $5,000 prize fund. The rules are simple.  You may enter up to three paintings for one fee of $35.  Works must be painted in 2014 and you must have photographic evidence that the painting was painted plein air.

Judging the show this year will be Tom Post from Cincinnati, Ohio.  He is a freelance illustrator with a BFA in Fine Arts from Columbus College of Art and Design.  Tom is a member of the Cincinnati Art Club and his paintings are in the collections of notable collectors.  You can view his work on his website http://www.tompostart.com/home.html.
