About the Open Call

The Courageously Created Fine Art Show & Auction celebrates courage and creativity while raising funds to complete Alatheia’s capital expansion project. The event features an opening reception, benefit auction, and a public exhibition. The jury, featuring master artist Ned Mueller, will select original works in oil, acrylic, watercolor, gouache, pastels, charcoal, and ink. The show specifically excludes digital art, sculpture, and photography. Selected works will be auctioned with a 50/50 sales split to benefit the center's mission of providing equine-assisted services for children, adults, veterans, and first responders.
