CALL TO ARTISTS - US Bank Celebration of the Arts exhibit

The US Bank Celebration of the Arts exhibit continues this year, but in a new way. Bowling Green and the surrounding community look forward to this exhibit every year. Through the generosity of US Bank, the Museum is able to host the 2021 Celebration of the Arts virtually and to waive the entry fee. 

Artists enter using an online form at wku.edu/go/celebration and email an image of their work to kymus.shows@wku.edu. The work will be juried and everyone can join the opening awards presentation via YouTube video beginning at 6:00 pm on Friday, March 5th. All artwork submitted will be exhibited online.

Awards include Kentucky Museum Purchase Award, Best of Show and the World’s Greatest Studio Tour Merit Award. In addition to awards, prizes will be awarded within each category to both professionals and amateurs.

Entries due no later than Feb. 12th.
