Sheldon Jackson Museum Solo Artist Exhibitions 2026-2028

The Sheldon Jackson Museum is accepting applications for Solo Artist Exhibitions. Alaska Native visual artists living in the United States are welcome to apply. Three artists will be selected for solo exhibitions to take place from February through mid-April of 2026, February through mid-April of 2027, and February through mid-April of 2028. Selected artists will be announced in December 2024.

Applications must include 10 high quality digital images (JPEG format, under 5 MB each) reflecting the type of work you wish to exhibit, with the option to submit up to 5 video files (under 100 MB). Applicants must also submit a cover sheet with artist name and address and a detailed list of submitted work including title, medium, dimensions, and date of creation for each piece; an artist's resume listing exhibition history; and a letter of intent detailing the proposed exhibition. Applications will be reviewed by a committee made up of museum staff and artist professionals, based primarily on the quality of work presented but also on the artist's record of professional activity and exhibition proposal.

Eligibility is open to Alaska Native visual artists 18 years of age or older living in the United States who have not had a solo exhibition at the museum within the past ten years. The entry fee is $5.00. Applications should be submitted online by November 16, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Artists may use existing work in their application but are strongly encouraged to develop new work for this opportunity.
