2022 INTERSTATE: Where I-90 Meets I-82

2022 INTERSTATE is a national juried exhibition hosted by the Sarah Spurgeon Gallery at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. The exhibition is open to submissions in all media and subject matter; artwork does not need to follow a particular theme. The subtitle, "where I-90 meets I-82," locates the exhibition in Ellensburg and suggests the flow and exchange of artwork across geographic distances and boundaries. Proceeds from this biennial exhibition support student scholarships in the CWU Department of Art + Design. Exhibition dates are March 31–April 23, 2022.

The Sarah Spurgeon Gallery, founded in 1969, is dedicated to contemporary art exhibits and related outreach programs that enhance, engage, and challenge viewers' knowledge and understanding of art. The gallery presents artists and viewers with opportunities to explore culturally diverse ideas in an academic environment. The juror is Faith Brower, Haub Curator of Western American Art at Tacoma Art Museum.
