The 55th Annual National Drawing and Small Sculpture Show is open to all U.S. artists. Only work created in the last three years can be entered, and previously exhibited works in the Annual Show are not eligible. Each artist may submit up to three works. The exhibition is judged by a guest juror of national stature, and accepted artwork is displayed in the Joseph A. Cain Memorial Gallery.

All accepted artwork can be considered for purchase. The 2021 juror is Robbie Barber, Full Professor of Art at Baylor University.

Eligible entries include all original works on paper (drawing, printmaking, watercolor, photography) and sculptures of any media, except those requiring ceiling suspension. Entry fee is $20 for up to three entries, with an additional $5 per entry for submissions beyond three. Submissions must be made through Callforentry.org by November 30, 2020.
