"CarlsCore, a Regional Juried Show"
No matter what show we do, somehow, someway Carl’s Ice Cream’s iconic signage, or building manages to make an appearance. And we just figured that in 2025, why fight it?? Join us this July to celebrated Carl’s Ice Cream and all of the art that they have inspired over the years in a show we are calling CarlsCore. We want any art you make in any medium that celebrates their sign, building, sweet treats, people, and culture of the iconic Carl’s Ice Cream in Downtown Fredericksburg. Random photos of people named Carl will not be accepted, but we will be amused.
