Call for Artists: Juried Exhibit 

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is looking for professional artists currently residing in Wyoming, Idaho, or Montana to submit artwork for our Woven Together: Art and Arachnids exhibit. The Museum is looking for 2-D artwork or sculptural relief (i.e. collage, multimedia, fiber art, etc.) featuring spiders in ways that highlight their beauty and demonstrate their relevance to the ecosystem. Artworks informed/influenced by science as indicated in your artist statement will be given priority.

Artwork will be juried by staff members from the National Museum of Wildlife Art with input from art students at Teton County high schools. All applicants will be notified of the Museum’s decision by May 15, 2021
