<p>I'm a hobby artist and I paint in my free time, so I try to enter most of the art competitions available in my area for my college money.</p>
<p>I never win since most of the shows usually pick professional artists'/adults' artworks, but they still do exhibit one or two of my entries at their show if I get lucky.</p>
<p>No, I'm not an art major (nor going to be) but I truly love painting.</p>
<p>I've now exhibited in 3-4 shows now; would it help if I put in on my common application? And if I do, what area should I put it under?</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
