Artspace111, a commercial gallery in Fort Worth, has announced an open call for its 10th Annual Texas Juried Exhibition, featuring a top prize of $10,000.
Artspace111 10th Annual Texas Juried Exhibition
While in past years the exhibition has been juried by a solo juror, this year selected artists will be determined by a three-person panel. The jurors are Vicki Meek, a Dallas-based artist, independent curator, writer, and Art League Houston’s 2021 Texas Artist of the Year; Clare Milliken, Assistant Curator at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; and Luis Puron, Executive Director of the Rockport Center for the Arts. The panel will select artists to be showcased in the juried exhibition, name a winner of the top prize, and award additional cash prizes totaling $5,000.
Kaima Akarue, “Should I put my hands in my pocket?,” 2021, acrylic and crushed glass on canvas, 40 x 30 inches.
Last year’s juror Daisha Board named Kaima Akarue’s Should I put my hands in my pocket? best in show, winning a $2,000 prize. Seven other works won media-specific prizes and honorable mentions, totaling $3,000 in awards.
