45th Elkhart Juried Regional

The Elkhart Juried Regional Exhibition is a major survey of current trends by artists from 20 northern Indiana counties and four southern Michigan counties.

This exhibit marks forty-plus years of providing artists in northern Indiana and southern Michigan an opportunity to show their work and compete for cash awards. Since 1979, the museum has provided over $750,000 in award monies to regional artists. This exhibition, as those in the past, provides an exciting survey of the most current art being produced throughout the Michiana region.

The exhibition will be on view at the Midwest Museum of American Art from October 7 through Sunday, December 22, 2023.

The 45th Elkhart Juried Regional is sponsored by Elkhart County CVB with additional support provided by James Rieckhoff and Drs. Wes Mark & Mary Harder.
