March 15th - this is the deadline for McLean Project for the Arts' Strictly Painting. Open only to Mid-Atlantic painters and juried by Jonathan Binstock. Binstock was also the juror for the most recent New American Paintings Mid-Atlantic edition (due out in April), so if you entered that contest and didn't get in you might want to think carefully about entering this one also.

Please spread the word to artists living in the above cities.

Ongoing Deadline - ADA Gallery and local curator Doug Utley are organizing twelve by twelve. Open to anyone. This is an ongoing project I checked out last night and saw lots of sales being made. I think they have plans for this to get huge and travel.

Good Luck!
