Mid-Atlantic New Painting 2024
Call for Entries
UMW Galleries is now accepting submissions for our upcoming juried exhibition, the 2024 Mid-Atlantic New Painting Biennial. This biannual celebration of contemporary painting showcases artists from Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Begun in 1997, MANP is celebrating its twelfth iteration.
The intention of the Mid-Atlantic New Painting exhibition is to highlight new developments in painting within our region. Awards include First, Second, and Third place awards decided by the juror, and a single Purchase Award decided by UMW representatives. This will be the twelfth juried biennial of contemporary painting organized by the University of Mary Washington, and a welcome return to the biennial after a COVID-based hiatus since 2018.
Open to artists 18 years of age and older who live in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Paintings in any medium are eligible, but may not exceed 80" in any dimension.
Each artist may submit up to three artworks through Call for Entries (CaFÉ). A $25 non-refundable fee must accompany the entry.
A downloadable/printable poster can be downloaded here.
