The Art League of New Britain invites members to participate in Dreaming of Spring, our annual juried exhibition celebrating the season of renewal, rebirth, and creative awakening. You can become a member during the submission process! As the world thaws and color returns, artists are encouraged to interpret the spirit of spring in their own way — through light, growth, transformation, or simply the joy of new beginnings. This theme is intentionally open to all forms of artistic expression, welcoming both literal and abstract interpretations. All mediums and styles are encouraged. Whether your work reflects the natural world, personal change, or the energy of fresh ideas, Dreaming of Spring is an opportunity to share your vision of what it means to begin again.
