Eligibility

Artists at all career levels from emerging to established professional, 18 years of age or older residing in the State of Wisconsin, are invited to enter two-dimensional, original artworks.


SUBMISSION Fee

Artists may enter up to two (2) original works for a $30 non-refundable entry fee.


To Entrants

A juried exhibition is by nature a competitive event. Artists are selected through a process of careful deliberation among a panel of professional jurors. The makeup of the jury changes every year and selections are made based on what the panel feels is the strongest work. Artists may or may not be selected for inclusion in this exhibit and may or may not agree with the jurors’ results. The Miller Art Museum provides this opportunity for artists to have a venue for exhibition, and these are the rules. Museum staff and volunteers appreciate the good sportsmanship of participating artists!


SALES

Artwork may or may not be for sale as each artist wishes. The Miller Art Museum retains a 40% commission on each sale; the retail price should reflect this commission. If you have an exclusive contract with a gallery, any artwork sales will be transacted through that gallery. Please list the gallery name and commission percentage during the submission process and contact the curator to discuss.
