Downey Arts Coalition and Downey Symphony are proud to accept submissions for our April 8th group show, “Earth Recycled.” The deadline to submit is Sunday March 26th. The art will be on display at the Downey Theatre on April 8th, during the Downey Symphony concert.
Oftentimes we are more focused on the latest technology, current events, going through life at a fast pace, hence forgetting to “smell the roses,” and in doing so, we inadvertently overlook the damage we cause our Mother Earth.
Artwork must be regarding ecology, conservation, recycling, pollution, Earth/Nature appreciation, and/or made from recycled items. Inspire caring and respect for our Mother Earth through your art.
Selected artists will be featured in the Symphony concert program, with your contact information, and will be publicly recognized from the stage.

DREAMSCAPES
“You journeyed in joy and despair
Before you encountered lies and old age
Love made you suffer at twenty at thirty
I’ve lived like a fool and wasted my time
You no longer dare to look at your hands and now I feel like crying
Over you over the one I love over everything that has scared you.”
― Guillaume Appollinaire, Zone

Call to Artists! Join us in our next group art exhibition: Cosmic coming to the Downey Civic Theatre October 2nd to the 25th. Downey Arts Coalition presents the show in collaboration with the Downey Symphony Orchestra’s fall concert.
The theme is, “The universe, sun, moon, outer space, celestial bodies, space travel, terrestrial landscapes and space exploration.” Downey has a special connection to space, as the home of the Apollo, creators of the Apollo capsules, and the place where the Space Shuttle was designed and many of the parts built.
All medias, mixed media, all sizes, self-contained. No fee to submit, each selected piece is subject to a participation fee of $5. Deadline is Monday, September 19th.
Take us on a journey into the stars and the vast reaches of space to worlds outside our understanding. Mankind’s imagination was realized as we went beyond our fears with space exploration, gazing upon the wonder beyond our home into the celestial beauty of the cosmos.
Selected artists will be featured in the Symphony concert program and be publicly recognized from the stage, as well as have the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to the evening’s performance.
