Call to Artists by CHA - Prospectus

This is a new feature that will simplify the access to entry application and details of the requirements to participate in an art show sponsored by CHA and hosts.

A prospectus, in this case, is a formal document describing details (fact) that are vitally important to persons who want to participate in a co-sponsored CHA/host art show.
