Entries Due for Annual NW Art Exhibit

The Northwest Minnesota Art Exhibit is held annually at locations throughout our region. Artists from our 7 county- service region can enter into this art exhibit and compete for $2,300.00 in cash awards. Artists must reside in Kittson, Marshall, Norman, Polk, Pennington, Roseau, or Red Lake counties to be eligible. Both adult and student artists are encouraged to enter. You can enter up to two pieces of artwork. To be eligible a work must have been completed within the last five years and not have been accepted into a previous Northwest Minnesota Art Exhibit. Exhibit cash award winners are chosen while the exhibit is on display by a qualified juror. They are recognized and receive their check at the Artist Reception held at the end of the exhibition.

A juror or committee will determine which pieces will be part of the exhibit from the slides or photographs you submit with your entry form. Selected work must be delivered to the exhibition site and framed correctly. Contact us with questions.
