Brave Artists

The Sowebo Arts Soweboposter Show & Auction is one of Baltimore's most unique art shows and fundraisers. Each year, we scatter these posters with a new border design throughout the Baltimore area. Sowebo Arts is offering these decorative bordered posters to you,the fabulously generous artists of Baltimore. We ask only that you, "the artist", donate them back to Sowebo Arts with your "original" art on it. As always, this is not juried and has no theme. We encourage diverse content and materials. The returned posters are exhibited and auctioned with the money going to support Sowebo Arts Inc.
