Palmer Museum announces call for juried exhibition to celebrate America’s 250th
The Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State has announced a call for entries for a juried exhibition titled "Dreaming American Futures: Invitational 250," which will run from summer through fall of 2026 to celebrate the United States' 250th anniversary. Submissions are open to Penn State students, faculty, staff, alumni residing in Pennsylvania, and local artists within a 50-mile radius of State College. The exhibition invites works addressing themes of activating change, bridging the divide, the pursuit of happiness, and a more perfect union, which were developed from community feedback gathered during a summer 2025 installation. Digital submissions of up to three works are due by February 15, 2026, with no entry fee, and a jury of five will select the pieces.
