Each year a prominent juror selects works by local artists for the month-long exhibition, and sales support a nonprofit organization chosen by the gallery members. Artists may enter one or two works for the entry fee of $30. Prizes include generous cash awards. The first-prize winner will also receive a month's guest artist hanging privileges at Archway Gallery.
Interested artists can get entry information and forms on the gallery's website, ArchwayGallery.com.

Archway Gallery's Charity Partner this year is Rescue Bank, a program of the non-profit GreaterGood.org, supports animal welfare groups by providing grants of donated pet food. It primarily serves smaller groups that have limited resources, increasing their visibility and providing greater access to supplies. Started in 2006, because of its founders' experience with the Hurricane Katrina response, Rescue Bank grew regionally through 2011 serving local needs near Houston and responding to disasters such as hurricanes, floods and wildfires. It expanded nationally in 2011, supported by generous donations from GreaterGood.org and TheAnimalRescueSite.com. Rescue Bank now distributes grants through a network of non-profit affiliates, partners that manage regional warehouses. Rescue Bank merged with GreaterGood.org in 2014, creating additional grant opportunities for its recipients. Since its national expansion, Rescue Bank has managed more than 2,200 shipments of donated food and litter, delivering more than 250 million meals to pets in need. (www.rescuebank.org)
