Theme

The theme for the 13th Annual Falls Church City Student Art Contest is “Faces of Falls Church.” Contestants are asked to submit artwork that illustrates this theme. This can be interpreted literally, figuratively, or abstractly. "With this theme, traditional portraiture is not required, but we certainly welcome it if that is how you choose to interpret the theme!" organizers advise.

Gallery Opening Reception and Award Ceremony

All contestants are invited to a gallery opening reception and awards ceremony Jan. 3, 2014 from 6-8 p.m. at Art and Frame of Falls Church regardless of whether or not their submission was chosen as a semi-finalist.
