What inspires you? Share with us what motivates you, what gets your creative juices flowing, what do you want to share with the world?
You can create a new work for this show or choose a piece that is an example of your best!
We ask that you share with us and viewers if you are chosen, what your inspiration was for the piece.
Vaughn Woods, owner of La Playa Gallery is always on the lookout for fantastic new artists to showcase in his gallery. Maybe you will be the next big discovery.
This gallery is in a great location in La Jolla Shores, on a busy street everyone walks down to get to the beach. It's in an upscale neighborhood with lots of locals who regularly attend the art receptions.
Surfing Madonna Oceans Project wants to help support La Playa Gallery in finding new artists to represent, and to encourage the community to view art with inspired arts programming. 
We seek to recognize, showcase and motivate artists to achieve their best possible outcome by showing and selling their work in great galleries.
