Museum Statement

Since 2015, the Monmouth Museum has proudly celebrated our Artist Members through a non-juried art exhibition. The exhibition will feature miniatures, with artwork no larger than 15" x 15" when framed. All media types are welcome, but artwork must be wall-mountable. It is open to all members aged 18 and up.

There is an exciting spin to the Nilson Gallery during this exhibit! The gallery will also host a pop-up gift shop with a few tables for guests to do a workshop or enjoy a prepackaged snack. This added excitement is sure to attract more visitors to the gallery, giving them the chance to appreciate your artwork!

All artwork that meets the guidelines will be accepted, and artists will be reminded of important dates via Submittable. This exhibition is exclusive to Museum Members (limit 2 pieces per artist).
