36th Annual International Exhibition

The 36th 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 serve as jurors selecting works for exhibition. 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 a non-refundable entry fee of $35. Submitted images must comply with CaFE's entry requirements. Works must be professionally presented and ready for installation, with framed works using Plexiglass only. Entries must weigh less than 50 pounds.

Shipped work should arrive by January 10, 2021, or hand-delivered artworks may be brought in on January 8 between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. Shipping costs and insurance are the artist's responsibility. Shipped work must be in a reusable shipping container with a pre-paid return shipping label. The exhibition opens January 19, 2021, and closes March 5, 2021. Works will be returned March 15-19, 2021. Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by December 16, 2020. Several purchase awards will be made and added to the University's permanent collection.
