Benton Spring/Summer 2024

The Benton is accepting submissions from Associated Artists of Winston-Salem (AAWS) members for their Spring/Summer 2024 exhibition. Members may submit up to 6 artworks with possible selection of up to 4 pieces. The entry fee is $20 per artist for up to 6 works.

All 2-dimensional fine art media are accepted, including hand-pulled prints, original digital prints, and photographs. Work must be original, professionally framed with no visible staples or unpainted canvas, and works on paper must be protected by glass or plexiglass. No piece should exceed 50 pounds in weight. The Benton is looking for fairly large work and does not accept nudes or controversial content (nothing political, religious, or potentially offensive). Previously entered work that was not selected may be resubmitted, but work previously displayed at the Benton cannot be entered again. Printed reproductions are not accepted.

Submit high-quality JPEG images at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge with a maximum file size of 30 MB. Crop images to show only the artwork with no visible matting, frames, or background. Images should be oriented correctly and well-lit without glare. Entry fees are non-refundable and must be submitted by the deadline of April 15, 2024. After submission and payment, you may log in to review, edit, and add or substitute images until the deadline. The Benton Convention Center is located at 301 West 5th Street at the corner of Cherry Street in downtown Winston-Salem. For questions, contact Susan Powers at [email protected].
