America is a melting pot of cultures, peoples, and perhaps most of all - music. This juried exhibit will run in tandem with the Great American Brass Band Festival, an annual tradition in Danville, Kentucky that brings visitors from across the nation to celebrate the music that brings us all together in a weekend of outdoor concerts.
The juror will be asked to select work (both two and three dimensional) that reflects and expresses the theme of American Music while demonstrating creativity, strength of execution, and overall artistic excellence with the goal of selecting a well-rounded exhibit that showcases a broad range of artistic style and interpretation.
