Holiday Window Walk at Regency Square Mall: Every year hundreds of people flock to the bigger cities to witness the fantastical store front windows at large department stores. This year, the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen is bringing a taste of holiday magic to the storefronts at Regency Square Mall. Artists are encouraged to submit ideas for intriguing window displays/installations in any holiday theme. Selected submissions will be paired with a storefront to create their display and are required to submit a drawing of display plans prior to set-up in early November. Artists will be recognized both at their window and in the exhibit brochure noting the title, artist and brief description of the windows throughout the mall. An opening reception will be held to kick-off the event in November! Ring In the Season IV: Wreaths are used around the world to celebrate seasons, holidays, or simply as decoration. There is no limit to how basic or creative a wreath can be. Artists and crafters alike are invited to submit up to three (3) wreaths for the fourth annual Ring in the Season Slantwall Gallery exhibition. Wreaths of all shapes, sizes, and themes will be on display across the Slantwall and throughout the main lobby hallway.
