Think cabaret, courtesans and the the can-can! Moulin Rouge means Red Mill, so envision rich reds- not to mention vibrant golds. The charm of Paris and the feeling of velvet, taffeta and hot lights may be represented. The Moulin Rouge is energy, entertainment and extravagance. Submit your representational or abstract interpretation of this decadent French theme in any medium.

Jurying
After gathering results from our online survey, "To Jury or Not To Jury", we learned that the majority of our artists prefer juried shows. For the sake of learning and guidance read the article below. Though it can not speak to each jurors personal process (only they can do that), it offers cohesive and thoughtful advice.
CCAA offers both Juried and Non-Juried shows to support opportunities for all levels of artists interested in exhibiting.
