Whispers of Winter
MAA Art at Windridge Vineyards
Key dates
Winter's Dance by kathy tynan
Theme for Submissions: Whispers of Winter. Whispers of Winter invites artists to explore the quiet beauty of the season—where light softens, colors deepen, and moments become more intimate. This show celebrates the subtle poetry of winter: the hush of snow, the curve of bare branches, the glow of gathering indoors. Together, these works reflect the gentle presence and contemplative spirit that winter brings.
Artists are asked to submit works that clearly relate to the theme Whispers of Winter, reflecting recognizable elements of the winter season -- such as seasonal color, atmosphere, subject matter, or mood.
