The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts is partnering with the Montgomery Art Guild to present an exhibition of contemporary regional art in the museum’s galleries.

This exhibit will present paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, ceramics, photographs, computer graphics, mixed media, fiber art, and fine crafts by some of Alabama's most talented contemporary artists. So far we have raised $9,500 for cash awards for artists and we hope to raise more!

This year's exhibit is based on the theme “Home” and can include realistic or abstract works inspired by characteristics or living conditionshttps://artatmmfa46.artcall.org/ of our home state, including but not limited to its people, history, culture, geography, environment, and personal experiences. “Home” can be broadly interpreted, so show us your creativity.

All applicants must be at least 19 years of age and a resident of the state of Alabama. There are no membership requirements. Applicants may submit up to 5 pieces of artwork to this exhibit. The entry fee is a flat rate $15 per submission. This is a competitive juried art competition. No entry fees will be refunded if work is not selected for the exhibition.

Works submitted by applicants that do not meet these criteria will not be considered by the juror.

This year's Juror is Jade Powers, Hugh Kaul Curator of Contemporary Art of the Birmingham Museum of Art in Birmingham, Alabama.
