Artists from Vaughan and across the GTA are invited to run wild for an upcoming exhibition.

The city is seeking submissions, until Dec. 9, for a juried art show dubbed Urban Jungle to celebrate the creation of a new downtown area around the Spadina subway station known as the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.

Artists 18 and older may submit up to three original, two-dimensional works interpreting the urban jungle theme through any subject matter that resonates with them, be it architecture, landscape, people or something else.

Entrants are free to experiment with abstraction and mixed media as well as contemporary mounting techniques.

There is a $20 non-refundable fee to enter, which must be paid by cheque.

Entries will be judged from digital images, which should be submitted as jpeg files on CD, USB key, or as email attachments between 150 and 300 dpi.

Selected artwork will be exhibited from Jan. 26 to April 28 at On the Slate gallery inside city hall.

The project is organized by Vaughan’s Economic Development and Culture Services department.
