Our Own Perspectives

The UA Museum of the North is issuing a call for entry for upcoming community arts exhibitions. Up to 6 Interior Alaska artists and/or artist collaborations or community curated shows will be selected for a sequence of exhibitions within UAMN's Rose Berry Alaska Art Gallery opening between March 2026 and May 2028. This project is open to Interior Alaska artists (individuals and collaborations) as well as to community curators proposing collections of cultural objects. Artists are strongly encouraged to develop new work for this opportunity, though existing work may be used in applications.

Applications are due Sunday, November 30, 2025 by 11:59PM Alaska Time, with selected proposals announced January 2026. Applications will be reviewed by a committee consisting of professional artists and museum staff. Selections will be based on the quality of the submitted work, a bio, resume and statement, and the exhibition proposal. The timing and duration of each selected exhibition will be negotiated between artist and museum, with most shows expected to run from 2-4 months.

The entry fee is $25. Applicants must submit an artist/curator statement (1000 words), bio(s) (3000 words), resume(s), and exhibition proposal with detailed work/object information including titles, medium, dimensions, weights, and dates of creation. Open to all Interior Alaska visual artists and community curators 18 years of age or older. No work done under instruction will be accepted.
