New location
The Phidian Art Club of Dixon, IL has announced a call for artists to register for their annual Phidian Art Show. After a two-year absence, the Phidian Art Club has made a big change with the venue moving from the Loveland Community House & Museum to The Next Picture Show art gallery at 113 W. First St., in Dixon.
In-person awards presentation a no-go for 2022
The exhibit of original artwork is on display on the gallery walls from Apr. 1-22. Due to remaining COVID concerns, the Phidian Art Club is forgoing the in-person awards presentation this year. All awards will be announced on Apr. 1.
Show runs Apr. 1-22 during gallery hours
The show is open to the public during regular gallery hours, Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Local artists will vie for over $3,500 in cash awards. The public has the opportunity to choose a “People’s Choice Award” by voting for their favorite entry from Apr. 1-14, after which the People’s Choice award will be announced.
