2023 Submission Deadline for Fall Art Show

October 9, 2023

Open call to artists for entry into Harlin Museum’s 48^th Annual Fall Art Show Competition!

This show is an open-theme juried show with a youth division and adult novice and adult advanced divisions. Entries must meet competition guidelines during the juried portion of the entry process for acceptance into the competition. The jurors will be selecting the work for the exhibition based on quality of work and technical skill.

The selected entries are guaranteed a place in the show; each selected piece will be judged using a point-based evaluation system that evaluates four areas (each worth 25 points, for a total possible score of 100 points): design composition, technique/skill of construction, presentation, and creativity/originality. Prizes will be awarded to the entries receiving the highest scores in succession, including Best Of Show. The People’s Choice award will be chosen by public vote.

Guidelines: Limit five entries per artist. 2D and 3D entries; all styles, subject matter, and mediums allowed. All pieces must be original works of the artist entering. No Copies or Kits. All work must not have been previously shown in a Harlin Museum Art Competition. All 2D entries must be either framed, gallery-wrapped canvas, or otherwise secured with wire or eye screws for hanging. No saw-tooth hangers. All sculptures or other 3D art must be free-standing or be accompanied by any necessary display equipment.

For the 2023 Annual Fall Art Show, we are employing a new entry process. To submit your entries for jury consideration, email good-quality images of each of your entries (along with the completed entry form) to by the jury submission deadline, which is Monday, October 9th, 11:45 pm. Entry forms can be picked up at the museum or completed online below.
