"Just Smile" exhibit
Missouri Artists On Main invites you to enter our new show called "Just Smile". We know artwork can make you feel a variety of emotions. Some work you walk up to can make you sad or other make you feel excited. When others you walk up to and they make you "Just Smile". In this show I want the viewer to walk up the your piece of artwork and bring a smile on their face. It maybe a clown, it maybe a people do silly things, it maybe a newborn making a silly face, but every piece of artwork must bring the viewer pleasure and hopefully a smile on their face. Let's see what you can come up with to make the judge smile. The Entries for this show can be 2D or 3D.
