We called for Southlake-based artists, and you delivered!

The Southlake Arts Council had a great time conducting the blind jury for this year’s Southlake Presents Art Show and Competition during their March meeting. We solicited 2D works of art from Southlake’s resident artists, and received world-class submissions from multiple unique creators!

While we can't feature every artist that submitted, the Southlake Arts Council greatly appreciates every artist who submitted their work for consideration.

After vigorous deliberation, here are the artists selected for the 2023 Southlake Presents Art Show and Competition:

  • Andrea Shaw
  • Klaus Mayer
  • Aparna Srivatsa
  • Wafa Abbasi
  • Ethan Jones
  • Mary Sweeney Howe
  • Penelope Palumbo
  • David Walsh
  • Christopher Sanders
  • Deanna Kienast

Congratulations to all featured artists!

The Southlake Presents art show and competition is the only public art exhibit that exclusively features work created by Southlake local talent.

What made last year’s event so memorable? According to Arts Council Secretary Beatriz Terrazas, it was “seeing how excited the artists who were selected were when they realized they were selected! When they were there [at the reception] and everyone was amazed at their art, I thought that was really great!”

This is the opportunity for you if you are a skilled visual artist living in Southlake wanting public exposure for your work. Applications open on Monday, February 13, and close on Friday, March 24. The Southlake Arts Council will jury all submissions and select the finalists towards the end of March.
