51st Annual Juried University of Wyoming Student Exhibition

About the Open Call

A highlight of the University of Wyoming Art Museum’s exhibition program, the 51st Annual Juried University of Wyoming Student Exhibition presents artwork from selected UW students. Juried by Lindsay Metivier, the 2026 exhibition is organized around the theme of 'entanglement,' interpreted to encompass work investigating collaborative relationships, interdependence, and mutual influence. The exhibition provides professional development for students to present their work in a museum setting. Works not selected for the museum will be presented in a Salon des Refusés organized by the Student Art League. Scholarship and purchase awards will be announced during the opening reception.

What is Offered

Museum exhibition, scholarship awards, purchase awards, professional development, and participation in the Salon des Refusés for non-selected works.
