ABOVE are two portals that will direct you to what you need to SUBMIT to our [back to in person] art event.

BELOW is our online photography portion [only] virtual gallery that we did during the pandemic to keep spirits up and community connected. NMP carried this out for the photography portion of the online exhibit post pandemic through July 2022 in a hybrid fashion to maintain connections with photographers who submitted from outside the driving distance as well as those still uncomfortable attending indoor events. In August 2022, we made the decision to return to our original goal of connecting regional artists in person through our monthly event. We hope you enjoyed the online photography during the pandemic pause! N.
