CIAO has the opportunity to curate an exhibit in the museum during the first five months of opening activities.  With thousands of visitors planning to tour the museum, this presents a great opportunity for CIAO .  This is a call for entries to the CIAO & Friends Invitational exhibit to be held at The Peoria Riverfront Museum from October 2012 to March 2013 featuring Central Illinois artists. If you would like your art considered for the show, you have until May 30 to respond.

“Laughter is the language of the soul.” ― Pablo Neruda Well, the sun is shining and the fields near the artists house are greening!  We have a new artist in residence that has joined our merry little band of art-makers... she is Maureen .  We welcome her! More artists arriving in the next few days... FYI...we have many more international artists that will be visiting in the next months...that should make for great conversation and exchange of ideas...more to come!
