Benton Spring/Summer 2025

This exhibition is open to AAWS members only. Entry fee is $20 for up to 6 entries, with possible selection of up to 4 pieces. Entry fees are not refundable.

All 2-dimensional fine art media are accepted, including hand-pulled prints, original digital prints, and photographs. Work must be original art created by the exhibitor and cannot have been previously displayed at the Benton, though previously entered but not selected work may be entered again. Printed reproductions are not acceptable. All work must be framed professionally with no visible staples or unpainted canvas. Works on paper must be protected by glass or plexiglass. No piece should exceed 50 pounds in weight. The Benton prefers fairly large work. Content restrictions: no nudes, and nothing political, religious, or potentially offensive to the general public.

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. Ensure images are oriented correctly and well-lit without glare. The entry deadline is May 2, 2025. After submission and payment, you may log back in to review, edit, and add or substitute images until the deadline. Entries cannot be accepted or changed after the deadline, and incomplete entries will be disqualified. For questions about the prospectus, eligibility, artwork requirements, drop-off, pick-up, or sales, contact the AAWS office at 336-747-1463 or [email protected].
