In September 2014, the Northern Arizona University Art Museum will produce a juried exhibition of paintings created around inter-woven themes of politics, violence, and reconciliation. The NAU Art Museum believes that the global community faces a turning point today in which economic, environmental, and ethnic pressures threaten the integrity of whole societies. The Arab Spring, wars arising from religious extremism and, conversely, the efforts of many nations to maintain stable, consensual societies are among the themes we hope to address in this exhibition. “Painting in the World: Reflections on Politics, Violence, and Reconciliation” will be co-jurored by Dr. George V. Speer, Director of the NAU Art Museum and Dr. Eleanor Jones Harvey, Senior Curator, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
Open to all national and international artists 18 years of age and older. Originals produced in a range of painting media, exclusive of commercial reproductions, are eligible. All artwork submitted must have been created in the last two years. Framed size limitation is 48 inches by 96 inches and a weight limitation is 40 pounds. Three awards with a total fund of $1600 are available for the best paintings.
Deadline: July 1st, 2014Entry fee: A non-refundable entry fee of $35.00 entitles submission of up to three entries.
