NOW OPEN: Call for Art: BLOOM - A Members Only Juried Exhibit

The Monmouth Museum invites our Members to submit work for BLOOM, a juried exhibition celebrating renewal, growth, transformation, and the beauty of the natural world.

Opening this fall in the Museum's Main Gallery, BLOOM will showcase thoughtfully curated artwork inspired by florals, gardens, landscapes, organic forms, changing seasons, hope, and new beginnings. Whether your work is representational or abstract, we encourage artists to explore the many ways nature inspires creativity.

Unlike previous annual members exhibitions, BLOOM will be a carefully curated exhibition designed to create a cohesive visual experience. Selection will be based on artistic merit, originality, craftsmanship, and how each piece contributes to the overall theme. While every submission will receive thoughtful consideration, acceptance is not guaranteed.

An Exhibition with Extended Exposure

BLOOM will be on view from September 20 through October 18, 2026. After the featured exhibition concludes, accepted artwork will remain on display throughout the Museum as the backdrop to our exciting fall and winter exhibition, DINOSAURS: The World of Giants, remaining on view through January 2027.

This provides participating artists with the unique opportunity to have their work seen by thousands of Museum visitors over the course of four months.

Who May Apply

This exhibition is open exclusively to current Monmouth Museum Artist Members, ages 18 and older.

Artists may submit up to two original works.
