The Newton Department of Arts and Culture invites artists to submit original artwork for exhibition in the City Hall Gallery Program from Monday, April 27 through Friday, May 22.

Two-dimensional artwork in all media forms is welcome. Artwork must adhere to the City Hall Gallery Policy, be ready to hang, and be compatible with the City Hall hanging system.
