The Hubbard Museum of the American West and the City of Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico present Biennale Grande.
The Biennale Grande is a juried fine arts competition that seeks to recognize and honor excellence in the contemporary visual arts of the American West. Artists who are selected as finalists benefit from regional exposure through a Smithsonian Affiliated Museum, have the opportunity to receive recognition for their work as well as the opportunity to sell that work during the exhibition. Jurors will be art professionals chosen to ensure a diverse range of perspectives and styles. All decisions by the jurors will be final.
There are cash awards totaling $2800 distributed between Best of Show, Second Place, Third Place, and three Honorable Mention awards.
The competition is open to all artists of any age, both amatuer and professional, currently residing in New Mexico. Eligible media include drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, fiber art, and mixed media. They will not be able, this year, to accept videos, films, photographs or large installations. All works must have been completed within the past five years.
Please visit the Hubbard Museum website for more information.
