61st Stockton Art League Juried Exhibition

The 61st Stockton Art League juried exhibition takes place at the Haggin Museum in Stockton, California. Originally conceived in 1951 to recognize, promote and reward excellence in Northern California art, it has grown to be a national juried competition exhibiting 2D and 3D artworks. The exhibition is a major fundraiser for the Stockton Art League, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing art education and development of the visual arts for all ages in Stockton and San Joaquin County. The exhibition runs from April 7 to May 15, 2022.
