WORKS OF EXCELLENCE 2023 is a national exhibition highlighting some of the best mid-career and professional visual artists in the country running from April 27 – May 27, 2023 produced by The Studio Door.  This is a new take on our popular biennial event 50 To Watch, which was previously postponed due to COVID.  The new exhibition is reimagined on a national scale.  The exhibition seeks artists to showcase the best of their recent body of work without having to fit a specific theme or style.

Artists can enter 4 – 6 works that represent their current body of work created in the past 2 years along with an Artist Statement. Payment of $35.

Submission Deadline:  March 27, 2023  – 10:59 PM PST 

Awards: Each juror will select one artist for outstanding accommodation and that artist will receive a Juror’s Award certificate and a check for $100.
