North x Northwest: Out of Isolation

Eligibility: International

THEME: The Yellowstone Art Museum’s Third Annual North x Northwest juried exhibition features the theme “Out of Isolation”, and asks artists to respond to their time in isolation, after isolation, and the societal changes brought on by Covid-19 and the tumultuous year of 2020. We look forward to artists’ responses to the theme in all art media, and to their broad and personal interpretations. Work must be created from January 2020 to present, and not previously shown at the Yellowstone Art Museum.

The exhibition is intended to introduce new artists to the region, showcase regional favorites, and exhibit emerging artists alongside their more established peers. In addition to Juror’s Award and People’s choice, the exhibition will fund $5,000 in purchase awards for the YAM’s permanent collection. The exhibition is open to artists of all genders and backgrounds, national and international, working in any fine art or craft medium.

MEDIA: The competition is open to all fine art media, including: Painting, Drawing, Graphic Arts, Collage, Sculpture, Photography, Textiles, Ceramics, Video, and Mixed Media.  Entries must not exceed 72” inches in any direction and/or 150 pounds. No entry that requires the artist to be present for moving or assembly will be accepted. Work that is hung on the wall must be hung using D-rings, a wire, or cleats and hardware must be installed prior to delivery. Any other method of hanging (Push Pins, Binder Clips, etc.) must receive prior approval from the museum. If work arrives that has been significantly altered, or is different from accepted images, it will be disqualified.

The North by Northwest (NXNW) Exhibition will be open to the public from July 1, 2021 – October 10, 2021
