The 58th Annual Greater Michigan Art Exhibition

The 58th Annual Greater Michigan Art Exhibition is one of the few remaining statewide visual arts competitions in Michigan. Organized by Alden B. Dow Museum of Science & Art at Midland Center for the Arts, this exhibition provides a forum for the most recent developments by Michigan artists. The gallery spaces at Midland Center for the Arts provide a dramatic stage for the display of contemporary work and are especially suited for the exhibition of large-scale works. Each year reputable arts professionals from around the country serve as jurors for the exhibition. This year's juror is Valerie Jenkins, Chair of Fine Arts at the College for Creative Studies.

Eligibility is open to all Michigan artists 18 years of age or older. Works in all media and mixed media are eligible. Only original works completed within the past three years will be accepted. No giclees, reproductions, or copies of original artwork will be accepted. Digital files submitted for jurying must be a non-altered representation of the actual works.
