64th Annual Juried Exhibit

May 22 – July 5, 2026

Opening Reception May 22, 5:30pm - 7:00pm

Submission method has changed for this year’s Juried Exhibit: in order to be considered for exhibition you must be a Wisconsin resident and artwork must be submitted online. The Hardy Gallery is excited to invite submissions for our 64th Annual Wall-to-Wall Juried Exhibit, which opens our exhibition season. Open to both emerging and established artists, the exhibit features a wide range of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mixed media, and more. The Juried Exhibit offers emerging artists an opportunity to gauge their growth, while providing established artists a platform to explore new ideas and techniques. Each year, residents and visitors eagerly anticipate this opening exhibition, where local artists’ work is showcased and the public is invited to vote for a People’s Choice Award.

  • Entry fees are $40 for one submission, with $10 for each additional entry. Students may submit their first entry for $10 with proof of current enrollment emailed to info@thehardy.org.

New to submitting on ArtCall? We know this process may be new to some, which is why we wanted to provide a tutorial on how to photograph your artwork, and a walk-through on how to submit on ArtCall. Click below to access the tutorials!
