Statewide Annual UT ‘26: Mixed Media, Works on Paper, and Installation
December 8, 2026 - March 13, 2027
The 2026 Statewide Annual (SWA) will be exhibited at The Utah Valley University Museum of Art at Lakemount in Orem, UT and composed of artworks in the categories of mixed media, works on paper, and installation, selected from artists’ submissions from across the state. We are honored to have Lehuauakea (Hawaii/New Mexico) and Liz Miller (Minnesota) as this year’s jurors, as they bring a vast array of knowledge to the selection process.
Artwork submissions must follow the theme of this year’s exhibition: Mixed Media, Works on Paper, and Installation
Works on Paper: This category accepts work in visual media other than painting, including artists books, aquatints, collages, engravings, etchings, lithographs, monotypes, prints, serigraphs, woodcuts, and drawings in two- or three-dimensional formats. Artists whose work involves painting only, including watercolorists, should apply to the painting category.
Mixed Media: This category refers to works in which more than one medium was employed in the creation of the work (this category does not include artworks that are solely composed of audio and/or video).
Installation: This category accepts large-scale, mixed-media constructions, designed to be displayed for a temporary period of time.
