20% of the exhibit proceeds benefit Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) toward lake conservation efforts. CLA is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting Chautauqua Lake and its surrounding areas. The lake is not only a beautiful natural resource, but also an important economic asset to the region. CLA's conservation efforts include monitoring water quality, controlling invasive species, and promoting sustainable development practices. By supporting the exhibit, you are not only enjoying great art, but also contributing to the health and sustainability of this vital natural resource.
A Best in Show (cash prize) and Awards of Distinction will be awarded to the works of highest artistic merit based on technical skill, creativity, innovation, and adherence to theme. An Artists' Choice and People's Choice award will also be selected based on popular vote.

STCEA provides a safe space for you to build creative confidence. Our affordable exhibition entry fees allow you to submit and have your work evaluated through a competitive juried show process that is welcoming to art students, new and emerging artists, and seasoned artists alike.
Having your work displayed in an international juried show is a great way to boost your artistic presence, increase sales, and build your exhibition portfolio for future show opportunities, gallery representation, or entrance to MFA programs - or just for fun and personal growth!
Our online exhibits are good for the environment and your pocketbook - you save shipping fees and artwork preparation costs as your work is professionally displayed in an online gallery with shareable links for your website and social media feeds.
Plus, you can direct viewers to your online shop, where you’ll keep 100% of the proceeds for any artwork sold through exposure from an STCEA exhibit.
