To those of you getting the prospectus as a mailout, one section got cut off in the “Conditions” section.  It should read:

“Original artwork only.  From idea to execution completed within the last two years without supervision.  Not previously shown
competitively in Midland.
●Do not copy published images.”

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.  It is correct in the downloadable version you can get here: MAA Texas Artists Today 2016

Since 1978, the Midland Art Association has offered a juried art exhibition.  We have been honored to collaborate with the Museum of the Southwest who hosts this event.  The Museum of the Southwest is an accredited museum with a rich history and mission to preserve and exhibit the art of the Southwest.

Our spring exhibit is titled “Texas Artists Today,” and it will showcase the variety and talent of Texas artists in 2016.

The juror is Christina Rees, senior editor of Glasstire.
