The 9th Biannual Exhibition

Angad Arts Hotel invites submissions for The 9th Biannual Exhibition, celebrating five years of local art. This exhibition features works from local and regional artists within a 200-mile radius of the hotel in Saint Louis. There is no theme for this submission process. Artists are encouraged to submit work they are most excited to share and to include an artist statement describing their inspiration and recent work.

Submissions may include drawing, painting, graphic design, photography, printmaking, glass, assemblage, collage, written word, fiber, sculpture, or video media. Final pieces must be professionally framed and/or ready for display. Submissions must include final dimensions with framing.

Sculpture must be wall-mounted protruding no more than six inches with professional hanging hardware.
