The Benton Summer/Fall 2024 Exhibition

The Benton invites submissions from Associated Artists of Winston-Salem (AAWS) members for a juried exhibition. Members may submit up to 6 artworks, with possible selection of up to 4 pieces. The entry fee is $20 per artist for up to 6 works.

All 2-dimensional fine art media are accepted, including hand-pulled prints, original digital prints, and photographs. Work must be original, professionally framed with no visible staples or unpainted canvas, and works on paper must be protected by glass or plexiglass. No piece should exceed 50 pounds in weight. The Benton does not accept nudes or controversial work (political, religious, or potentially offensive content). Printed reproductions are not eligible. All work entered must be the exhibitor's original idea and creation, and cannot have been previously displayed at the Benton, though previously entered but unselected work may be resubmitted.

Submissions must be high-quality JPEG files at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge with a maximum file size of 30 MB. Images should be cropped to show only the artwork with no visible matting, frames, or background. Entry deadline is July 15, 2024. After submission and payment, you may log back in to review, edit, and add or substitute images until the deadline. Entry fees are non-refundable. The Benton Convention Center is located at 301 West 5th Street at the corner of Cherry Street in downtown Winston-Salem. For questions, contact Susan Powers at [email protected].
