The 2023 Southern Tier Biennial invites visual artists, 18 years of age or older, currently residing in New York State's Southern Tier (Allegany, Broome, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler, Tioga, and Tompkins counties) to apply. Artists may submit up to three original works completed within the past two years in any visual media. Works previously submitted to the Southern Tier Biennial are not eligible. The entry fee is $30.

Accepted works will be exhibited at the Peg Bothner Gallery at the Tri-County Arts Council, 110 West State Street, Olean, NY 14760, from September 16 – November 4, 2023. Each accepted artist will receive a $175 stipend to help cover costs associated with travel, shipping, and production. Five cash awards totaling $5,250 will be presented: $3,000 to the Best of Show winner (including a $2,000 stipend towards a solo show in Fall 2024), a $750 Juror's Choice Award, and $500 for three Honorable Mention winners. The Best of Show winner will also receive a solo exhibition in Fall 2024 with a four-color catalog and a $2,000 stipend for show expenses.

Accepted artists' work will be reproduced in a color catalog. The application deadline is June 17, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. Notification of acceptance will be sent by July 14, 2023.
