The Meadows Gallery at the University of Texas at Tyler has announced an open call for its 41st Annual International Exhibition, scheduled to run from January 20 to February 27, 2026. Interdisciplinary artist Alicia Eggert, an associate professor at the University of North Texas, will serve as juror. Artists over 18 may submit up to three two-dimensional works created within the last three years, with a $35 fee. Entries are due November 12, 2025, and selected works may be purchased for the university's permanent collection.
This call matters because it offers emerging and established artists an opportunity for international exposure and potential acquisition into a university collection, which serves as an ongoing educational resource. The involvement of a recognized juror like Eggert, who has exhibited at major institutions, adds credibility and visibility to the exhibition, reinforcing the role of university galleries in supporting contemporary art practice.
