For the 2024 season, the AAM invites members to get creative, imaginative, and experimental around a Small Originals theme in any medium. This opportunity will kick off the holiday season, when family visits and holiday cheer are at their peak.
To provide a premium viewing experience and an extended showcase, the Museum will be hosting the exhibition in the Waterfowl Building. This year’s exhibition will open on November 22 and run through December 29, 2024.
To ensure all members who are interested in participating can enter, submissions will be limited to maximum dimensions of 13 x 13 inches for 2D artwork and 15 x 15 x 15 inches for 3D artwork. A maximum 2-inch frame may be used for 2D artwork.
Participation in the Member’s Exhibition is not juried. Anyone with a current membership, valid through the end of the year, may enter one artwork. Accordingly, all entries are eligible for awards. This year brings new awards in Fiber and Sporting Art, along with our traditional roster of awards for painting, prints, ceramics, and wood pieces. Artists must register for the exhibition using the online form on the exhibition’s webpage between September 16 and October 15, 2023. Members may choose to offer their artworks for sale during the exhibition.
Art drop-off will take place November 12 and 13 from noon to 4 PM and on November 14 from 4 to 7 PM at the Waterfowl Building.
