The deadline is Wednesday, July 20, and works that are selected will be added to the Word exhibit from August to its closing in December.

The submission fee is $25, which includes a museum membership. (Artists who are already members may submit free.) Writers may submit two or three poems or short plays. For specific requirements, visit hvcca.org. The Word show can be viewed noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, or by appointment by emailing Jo-ann Brody at [email protected].
