Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: Amarillo Museum of Art
Deadline: Sun, August 1st, 2021

AMoA BIENNIAL-600: Justice·Equality·Race·Identity will be an exhibition of artworks selected by a juror from works submitted by artists residing within a 600-mile radius of Amarillo, Texas.  The exhibition will be on view October 22, 2021—January 2, 2022. 

AMoA BIENNIAL-600: Justice-Equality-Race-Identity is the ninth in an ongoing series of juried biennial exhibitions exploring specific areas of artistic practice, material, and content.  Previous exhibition focuses include Drawing (’05), Clay (‘07), Glass (‘09), Figurative Painting (‘11), Printmaking (‘13), Sculpture (’15), Architecture (’17), and Textile/Fiber (‘19).  This year, the AMoA staff and Board of Trustees are excited to offer the museum’s exhibition spaces to artists with a socially engaged practice.   

JUROR: Leslie Moody Castro 

ELIGIBLE WORKS 

Any artwork that speaks to and illuminates the conversations around race, identity, social justice, social change, and/or social inequity in any form may be submitted for consideration. Artists whose work could be sited outdoors are encouraged to submit proposals, as are artists with installation-based practices (though the nature of the museum’s interior spaces does impose limits).  Artists whose work requires exceptionally challenging handling or installation may be required to assist with installation on-site.
