If you’ve ever met eyes with Abraham Lincoln on Water Street, or the turkey that looks over Triangle Park, you can thank PRBHTN for that. The annual art festival has spent the last 10+ years supporting creatives and allowing them to decorate our city with their vibrant art and murals.

Now in its 13th year, applications are officially open to be part of the highly anticipated exhibition which is now hosted with the Lexington Art League. Selected artwork will be hung for display inside The Loudoun House. Here’s what you need to know.

  • Artists can submit up to four works by Monday, Sept. 2
  • All art must have been produced since Jan. 1, 2018
  • The submission fee is $10
  • Selected artists will be announced Friday, Sept. 13
  • The reception will take place at The Loudoun House on Friday, Oct. 11, 6-10 p.m.
