Decorative Arts Collection Awards

Each year the DAC sponsors a competition to search out the best in contemporary decorative painting. All entries to this competition must be painted on a surface that has a function separate from its decoration. Any artist may enter. Entries are juried in February of each year, and the judging takes place at the annual SDP Conference. Winners are awarded purchase prizes and become part of the permanent collection of the DAC. Entry forms and criteria may be obtained by sending a request to Andy Jones, Director, Decorative Arts Collection, P.O. 18028, Atlanta, GA 30316, or call (404) -627-3662.
