The Southern Utah Museum of Art seeks artists to submit their work for the museum’s inaugural show, “First Peek,” which opens June 25.
Part of this gala evening will be a juried exhibit of 35 pieces representing the best art in the intermountain west. In addition to the exhibit and sale, the docents will lead tours, and refreshments will be served. Tickets go on sale in early May.
Artists are invited to submit work for jury consideration. Artists may submit up to three pieces, although only one will be selected. Artwork submitted should be recent pieces that have not been displayed in a local exhibition or gallery. The list of jurors will be announced when it is finalized.
Pieces will be displayed in the museum from June 25 through at least July 15. Artists will receive 60 percent of the purchase price of his or her piece.
