Call for Entries: America @ 250: Expressions of Freedom

The Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County will host a regional art exhibit celebrating America 250, titled America @ 250: Expressions of Freedom. This exhibit invites artists of all ages and levels of experience to submit works that reflect what freedom means to them. It invites artists, students, families, and visitors to participate in a meaningful civic celebration highlighting perspectives, histories, and creative expressions unique to the region.

This juried exhibition is open to artists of all ages in Indiana and the Midwest. All mediums except video will be considered. Work must be original and completed within the last three years. Artists must accurately represent all work with JPEG images. Submissions not meeting these criteria will not be exhibited. Do not submit more than five (5) pieces for consideration. The museum reserves the right to reproduce images of qualifying work for the purposes of promoting and documenting the exhibition.

The juror is Akirash, a Lagos-born, Austin-based interdisciplinary artist whose work spans sculpture, installation, mixed media, video, and performance. Originally trained in biochemistry before studying fine and applied arts in Lagos, he brings a cross-disciplinary lens to themes of migration, identity, social justice, urbanization, and collective healing. All entries or related questions should be emailed to Janna Bennett at [email protected] with the subject line "Freedom." Please include the attached entry form along with JPEG images of your artwork.
