Mardi Gras in the Mountains: Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!, an exhibition of fine art and craft

$30.00

Transylvania Community Arts Council (Arts Council) has issued a call to artists for its upcoming exhibit, Mardi Gras in the Mountains: Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!, an open exhibition of fine art and craft. The exhibit will open on Friday, January 16, 2026, and will run through Saturday, February 21, 2026.

Laissez les bon temps rouler! ("Let the good times roll!") is more than a phrase; it is the spirit of Mardi Gras and Carnival – an ancient world-wide tradition of celebrating before the beginning of Lent. For this exhibition, artists of all ages and experience levels are invited to create and submit works of art in any visual medium (other than film/video) that capture the spirit, colors, and spirit of Mardi Gras and Carnival season – all with a dose of mountain creativity.

Applications and more information are available on our website (www.tcarts.org), or by calling the Arts Council at 828.884.8727, or by emailing info@tcarts.org

Only original works of art produced within the preceding three years will be accepted.

Artists may submit up to three (3) pieces of artwork for the exhibit. The entry fee for each piece is $10. The fee is waived for Arts Council members at or above the $100 level.

Please submit via email (info@tcarts.org) up to 2 high resolution images of each of pieces of art listed on the application form.
