Artspace111 in Fort Worth, Texas, has opened the call for its 2026 Texas Juried Exhibition, organized by the nonprofit Love Texas Art Foundation. The annual show invites artists from across the state to apply by June 1, with juror Terri Provencal, publisher of the Dallas Arts District Guide and Patron magazine, selecting participants. Prizes include the $10,000 Edmund Craig Memorial Award, a solo or group exhibition opportunity in 2027, and cash awards totaling thousands of dollars, with every selected artist receiving a $150 honorarium.
This exhibition matters because it provides significant financial support and visibility for Texas-based artists, with cash prizes and exhibition opportunities that can boost careers. The addition of an honorarium for all participants and the growing number of artists selected—from 43 in 2023 to 52 in 2025—reflects a commitment to broadening access and recognition within the regional art community. Such juried shows are vital for emerging and established artists to gain exposure and for local foundations to nurture the state's creative ecosystem.
