SAALM’s upcoming exhibition will be juried by Catherine Walworth, the Jackye and Curtis Finch Jr. Curator of Drawings at the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts (AMFA). Prior to joining the AMFA earlier this year, Ms. Walworth was a curator at the Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina, where she organized solo exhibitions by contemporary artists, including Renee Cox and Anila Quayyum Agha. During her tenure she grew the museum’s collection through acquisitions of pieces by Sandford Biggers, Kwame Brathwaite, Elizabeth Catlett, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eileen Gray.
SAALM welcomes applications by artists working in all mediums, except for jewelry and video. Entry fees are $35 for SAALM members and $45 for nonmembers. Over $10,000 in awards will be granted to selected artists. The application deadline is January 31, 2023. Selected artists will be notified by February 9, 2023, and the exhibition will run from April 2 through June 3.
