33rd Annual International Exhibition

The Annual International Exhibition is a juried visual art competition organized by the Department of Art and Art History at The University of Texas at Tyler. Internationally known artists, curators, and scholars have served as jurors selecting works for exhibition created by contemporary artists. The Department purchases three to six works from the exhibition each year; purchased works are added to the permanent collection, which serves as an educational teaching resource and is exhibited throughout the UT Tyler main campus.

This competition is open to any artist over the age of 18 working in two-dimensional media. Paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs created in the last three years are welcome. Artists may submit up to three works for consideration for a non-refundable fee of $35. Entries must be submitted via CaFE (Call for Entries). Works must be professionally presented and ready for installation upon receipt. Framed works must use Plexiglass only; pieces with glass will not be accepted. Entries must weigh less than 50 pounds.

Shipped work should arrive between January 2-10, 2018. Hand delivered artworks may be brought in on January 8 between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. Shipped work must be in a reusable shipping container with a pre-paid return shipping label. The exhibition opens January 22, 2018, with a reception and juror presentation on February 8, 2018, and closes March 9, 2018. Works will be returned March 14-16, 2018. Notification of acceptance will be sent via email on December 18, 2017. Several purchase awards will be made; purchased works will be added to the University's permanent collection.
