The Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas (ASC) is now accepting entries for its 2023 Irene Rosenzweig Biennial Juried Exhibition. The deadline to enter is 11:59 p.m. Thursday, June 1, 2023.

The exhibition is open to artists 18 years or older who reside in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, or Texas. 

Accepted art forms include paintings, drawings, original prints, fiber art, ceramics, sculpture, and photography. Beginning this year, digital and video entries are also accepted.

The prizes awarded are Best in Show — $1,000, first place — $500, second place — $200, three $100 merit awards, and $2,000 available in purchase awards. 

This year’s juror is artist, educator, and curator Dr. Rachel Trusty.

The Rosenzweig exhibition opens Thursday, July 20, with a free, public reception from 5-7 p.m. and an awards presentation at 6 p.m. The works will be on view in the William H. Kennedy Jr. Gallery through Saturday, Oct. 14.

This exhibition is an opportunity for established and up-and-coming artists to gain recognition, earn prizes, and for ASC to grow its permanent collection. ­

“One of the wonderful characteristics of the Rosenzweig Biennial Juried Exhibition is the diversity of the works and the artists,” said Dr. Rachel Miller, ASC’s executive director. “We very much enjoy seeing the diverse talent from our region's artists, and the opportunity to recognize and celebrate their creativity.”

The Rosenzweig submission guidelines and entry portal can be found here. The cost is $25 per entry, with a maximum of five entries accepted per artist.
